Instead of hoping for the best, do your best.

There are some things that should stay between you and God. Develop an intimacy with God. Open yourself up, go deeper with your thoughts and prayers. Share with God that which you would never dare utter out loud. May you be blessed in your relationship with the Divine.

And I am forced, despite myself
and despite all that I have been through, to say, “Amen.”
I am not sure why faith is a game of hide-and-seek.
But sometimes it is.

Bill realized Fink had sent the text to the wrong person, but when she told him the intended target, Bill's response was unexpected.
"Then it was immediately, 'How can I help?' and I was like, 'Well, just pray for Noah,' and he was like, 'Well I don't really pray, but I can help with donations, food, etc.,'" said Fink.
As you can imagine, Fink was stunned.
Bill told Fink that as a single father, it was a teachable moment for his son, and it's "just what people do...READ MORE + VIDEO
