Dear Friend,

What does hope in God do for humanity?

Hope shines brightest when the hour is darkest.

Hope motivates when discouragement comes.

Hope energizes when the body is tired.

Hope sweetens while bitterness bites.

Dear Friend,

During World War I, a British commander was preparing to lead his soldiers back to battle.

They’d been on furlough, and it was a cold, rainy, muddy day.

Their shoulders sagged because they knew what lay ahead of them: mud, blood, possible death. Nobody talked, nobody sang.

Dear Friend,

A college ethics teacher gave the following situation to a class of students.

How would you advise a mother who was pregnant with her fifth child based on the following facts.

Her husband had syphilis.

Can time be our friend?

At first glance, the question seems ridiculous, because the apparent scarcity of time is a constant source of stress in our busy lives. Thee are not enough hours in the day, we say as we collapse late at night. Deep down we know that we cannot go on like this.
