Sally and I were at the event of a philanthropic educational organization for women to which she belongs, one to which spouses were invited.
The MC told a story about Harry Truman.
The speaker said that one day, the head of president Truman’s council of economic advisors came to present a report from the council.
He said, “We think stocks will rise. But, on the other hand, they could go down.” And, “We think that interest rates will go down. On the other hand, they could go up.”
President Truman turned to his chief-of-staff and said, “Next time we hire an economic advisor I want one with one hand.”
We all long for certainty in life, but all we can know beyond the mechanical measurements of our world is hope.
This hope is a kind of certainty, one that never disappoints.
Therefore, since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Romans 5:1-5
