STOP AND THINK – Everything will be all right in the end and if it”s not all right …Well, it”s not the end yet. (From the movie, Best Exotic Marigold Hotel)

That’s a worldview with optimism, isn’t it? Not much in this world today lends itself to such hopefulness, though, online casino does it? Wars, civil strife, disease, natural disasters—there’s a lot to cause fear and pessimism. The only hope, then, is to fix our hearts and minds on something beyond the temporal and material. We need to pursue spiritual and eternal truths.

As reeds without water wither, so is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the godless. (Job 8:11-13, paraphrased)
