In reply to bill (cycleguy). Good timing with your devotional. I don't know that I've heard of the phrases of vertical and horizontal hope, but I definitely appreciate that distinction! I think I first heard of Caleb's book from your blog and it inspired me to read it myself.

In reply to Shannan. We sound the same on worrying, Shannan. I'm better at worrying less, but I still worry too much. :( Hope you're feeling better today and got a nap and a book! :)

Ironically, my New Morning Mercies devotion was on hope. Vertical hope not horizontal hope. Horizontal hope is temporary; vertical hope is permanent. Horizontal hope has an expiration date: vertical does not. I liked Caleb’s book and thought it well worth recommending and reading.

(1) I’m very much a worrier but we’ve been working on it and it’s not nearly as bad as it use to be.

(2) Having had an exceptionally busy weekend and feeling sick through most of it I am hoping to get some rest today – maybe even a nap. Perhaps a cup of tea (or two) and a good book.

(3) I have a wonderful hubby – I prayed for one since I was 12-years-old. If I’m being completely honest, what I have hoped for in the past, has pretty much come true and the things that I have hoped for that haven’t happen yet are because of my own doing.
