Today in church, we said this confession of faith out loud. 

I like it.  A lot. 

Surrounded by eternal love,

even in the face of evil,

we are a people of Hope

because we believe:

H:  Heaven and hell exist on earth and beyond, but God's purpose is heaven.

O:  Opportunites are hidden in every crisis.

P:  Problems are real, but in Christ, possibilities are endless.

E:  Eternal love is available for every earthly loss.
