I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that remains. —Anne Frank

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don’t. You are in good company… You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward.

The theological virtue of hope is an infused virtue by which God gives us the grace to realize that HE is in control. —Bishop Chandler Jones
