Let us hold fast

the confession of our hope

           without wavering,

for He who promised 

                 is faithful.

                    Hebrews 10. 23

(Excuse me,

but your hope in Christ

                    is showing.

Live in such a way

that what you believe

underlies everything about you,

even in the midst of a culture

that does not recognize

            what you are doing,

            or Whose you are.

What is so different about you?

That would be Jesus.)
