The more people I talk to...Christians and non-Christians, all I hear is discouragement, depression and fear of the future.

That is not what we are here for!  We are here to point the way to the One who created us.  To the Savior who has set us free from the world.  He has given us all He has and wants what is best for us.

Unfortunately, what we think we want or need is not always what He sees either or now or for down the road to be for our highest good.  Our selfishness and pride have caused us to forget where all our blessings really come from!

This blog is an invitation to turn the tide.  To change our perspective and to become individuals and a society that embraces HOPE. 

My challenge has nothing to do with ice buckets.  It is a challenge to change the world, the climate, the wars and the evils we see in the world and in the news. 

You can be an instrument of change. 

Accept the challenge!

• Repent, pray for forgiveness and conversion and believe in God's promises of Divine Mercy.
•  Say the Rosary. Ask for help from the Mother of God (who has a Son who loves her and listens to her and who is also mother to the saints and to us).

Your prayer can make all the difference and turn the tide. Have hope. Believe.
...

 I'm going to challenge myself and anyone who stumbles across this little blog to do big things by doing simple things.  If you do, I'm almost certain, you'll find yourself less fearful, empowered by the promises of God, and much more hopeful for the future.

Join the revolution.  It started over 2000 years ago and can be revived today to bring Joy and Grace to the world and to our hearts and minds.

Fast. Pray. Repent.  Pray for the conversion of others. Please join me in a revival of the Spirit and the Grace of God will pour out...

Today's Challenge:  Find a quote from the bible that promises you hope or Joy.

Pollyanna said there were quite a few "glad" passages in the Bible.  Go find one!  Then share it here!

Here is my verse: 

Joshua 1:7

"Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you. Do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go." (NIV)
