Thought for the day: hope.​ Romans 8​ talks about hope. ​Who hopes for what is seen? ​Hope is future oriented. As we look toward a situation that has no clear ending in sight, hope can be hard to hold on to. We take it one day at a time. Romans 8 is a towering passage that reminds us that ​nothing​ can separate us from the love of God. Thinking of you all. Pastor Traci
