i'm still trying to figure out what hope means and how it drastically affects people, especially those who have been traumatized in their lives. I find it amazing how you can instantly tell if someone has hope and if someone does not.

ps. i am adding you to my blogroll on my site, hope that's okay!

... stuck in my head

I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions. - Dorothy Day
If you are willing to wait for the decades to smooth out the bumps, happy marriages really do exist. -George Vaillant, observations from the Harvard Study of Adult Development
Prayer: Lord, you reveal yourself in so many subversive and unassuming ways. Give us the eyes to see the miracles and resurrection that happen every day. Unclog our ears to hear you, and show us how to get rid of the clutter of our lives that we might make room for you. Amen. (from Common Prayer, liturgy for Ordinary Radicals, July 22nd.
Grace is God's deliverance, his transforming initiative and not our human effort.... God is bringing deliverance; God is delivering grace. (Stassen and Gushee, Kingdom Ethics)
