Hope is not enough

Is hope a reliable fuel source?

Hope is not enough.

Action must support and validate our hope.

Otherwise hope is just a narcotic.

Take action. Lots of action.

In addition to what we do, action can also be defined by what we stop doing.

Hope is a fuel.

Action is a fuel also, one that burns longer and stronger.

Every thought is an opportunity to point only to one source for our infinite blessings

As we head to Church this morning, let us be ever mindful that every song the Z plays is a prayer.

Every verse a hopeful sound.

Every thought an opportunity to point only to one source for our infinite blessings.

Happy birthday Chapin.
