I listened to the latest Brave Saint Saturn album about four or five times today, driving to and from work and home and running errands for VBS. There is one phrase repeated in multiple songs that I resonate with, "the bravest thing i have is hope." I was driving tonight, alone, after Immersion and you know, I just felt the weight of that phrase. Sometimes in my life it seems the only thing I have is hope, but the bravest thing, gosh. We hope for something more incredible than the entire universe, heaven and the presence of God. To hope in that is so utterly bold, and yet completely crucial. And that this hope of ours is founded on Jesus and his resurrection from death by crucifixion, how brave is that? It is brave, but I will be brave. I have hope that I am going home someday.
