HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This Christmas I heard from a new friend of mine that I met at the Montrose Christian Writers Conference in July. Jean Oathout has her own blog at jean-oathout.blogspot.com and she kindly shared her CHRIST BELL with me there. Email me and I’ll send you Jean’s version–she took the time to put it into colored fonts and it’s beautiful. (I can’t get colored fonts here).
WHO AM I?

Do you know
who you are?
Hope’s thoughts:
Poor leadership makes employees afraid, angry, and search for greener pastures. Someone has to pay.
Poor parenting makes children suffer inward emotional turmoil—or worse. Someone has to pay.
Betrayed trust wounds. Someone has to pay.
Besetting sin nags at our soul. Someone has to pay.
Jesus said, “I’ll pay.” And He paid it all so we can be who we are supposed to be.
Thanks for passing on the Christ Bell. May many be blessed by it! Thanks, too, for the plug! I begin the Prayer Notes on Tuesday. Please pray for their reception, and pass them on to friends. I am excited about what all it will mean to people who really have no idea the importance of our praying. I have prepared 22 notes so far, and will use two of them as a post on my blog each week, as well as sending them to my email listing.
