Dwight L. MoodyRead
When a man is filled with the Word of God you cannot keep him still, If a man has got the Word, he must speak or die.

I like to think of hope as a fact and something that wins out always. Whether you're hopeful or not, actually, you do get through what you're in the middle of. When you're in it, you don't feel like that's possible. But time and time again, we're proven wrong.
