Hope is the word which God has written
on the brow of every man.
~ Victor Hugo
Hope, like the gleaming taper's light,
Adorns and cheers our way;
And still, as darker grows the night,
Emits a lighter ray.
Adorns and cheers our way;
And still, as darker grows the night,
Emits a lighter ray.

On Saturday, I "sat"
our Painted Toe Society show at Foothills II in Golden, Colorado.
I
still believe in Hope - mostly because
there's no such place as Fingers Crossed,
Arkansas.*

36"But about that day and hour no
one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.
42Keep awake therefore, for you do not know on what
day your Lord is coming. ...
43But understand this: if the owner of the house
had known in what part of the night the thief was coming, he would have stayed
awake and would not have let his house be broken into.
44Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man
is coming at an unexpected hour."
