Welcome to the HopeLives Blog!

Welcome to the HopeLives Blog!

You're invited to kick back and relax here at HopeLives.

My hope is to share insights from everyday life and more that will uplift, inspire and encourage you to live the fullest life possible with the God Who made you in His image and loves you with a passion indescribable -- Jesus Christ.

Tonight I'm reflecting on the fact that though the last few days have been filled with rain and cold -- I can't believe this is almost summer! -- the flip side is that everything is so amazingly green.

It's like the green is so bright it's ready to burst off the leaves! The trees and bushes are flush, and the grass is so thick it needs moving again.

Yeah, it's a drag that I'm wearing a wool jacket today and I'm still cold! But in the midst of the rain I see the life that's all around.

People on the streets, juggling bags and umbrellas as they board buses, others driving and jockeying for position in rush hour traffic.

A sparrow pecking at a bag of bar-be-que in front of Leon's.

A clump of ferns unfurling their fronds in the spring rain.

It's the lush life, in miniature, on a wet Thursday in early June.
