As you say Bob, people today put their hope (and faith) in tangible things, and are disappointed. The people in the bible and the distant past put their hope in God. The bible is full of hope. One of my favourite is Isaiah 40:31 “Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles”. That image is incredibly powerful. Recently a photographer shot a picture of an eagle soaring over a body of water which showed its reflection in the water. The wing span of the eagle was awe inspiring. The tips of the eagle’s wings touching the reflection in the water gave it the shape of an arch, above and below. Isaiah must have observed eagles flying effortlessly when he wrote those words. And so we Hope in the Lord who made heaven and earth. Amen
God bless

On the date issue: I saw your note on this but in fact the website as I see it on my iPad in the UK does not show the date as a heading, I’m afraid, so it would be most helpful to add the date in your heading, as all the other writers do. Many thanks in advance.
