Act 150:
“It’s never too late… To Hope
Hope is part of our life force. Never surrender hope. We know life comes in cycles. And an upturn can be just around the corner. Hope helps us struggle through the desperate times. It guides us through the dark.” – Patrick Lindsay
Quote in book: “Hope well and have well.” ~ Proverb
I of course didn’t really know where to start on this, so I consulted The ORACLE. If you just look at the disambiguation page on Wiki, there’s a lot of information you can gleam about the word “Hope”. It gave me hope that I would get inspired… haha. Here are some interesting facts that I knew and learned. Hope is…
- Defined as a belief in a positive outcome.
- A comic book character in Marvel Comics. The abilities are cool: Immune to infection. Able to inject other objects and beings with transmode virus.
- A political party in Slovakia
- A programming language and is also an acronym for Hackers On Planet Earth
- An international Seveth-day Adventist TV network
- The name of a girl band that appeared on The X Factor in England
- The name of a German Musical based on the life of Obama (really??? I had to got click that link and check it out. haha… )
- The name of 10 albums and 19 songs
- The name of 13 cities in the US and 6 more all over the world
So did I get inspired?? Well sort of, but first who remembers that show Hope & Faith? When I was looking at the movies and TV shows, where was that show?
Let’s talk about Hope. Hope as it’s defined. We all need a little hope in our lives. They say that Love is the only thing that connects us and that you can only count on two things.. Death and Taxes. Well, I think Hope is the other thing that connects us all and in times of need Hope is one of the only things that we can count on to brighten our spirits.
We all have hard times. We all need a little hope…whether it’s a sick child, parent, grandparent, spouse, other family member or friend. Not everyone prays, but everyone does hope. Hope for a good score or grade on a test. Hope for their team to win the game or match. Hope that the story ends the way you want it to. Hope for our lives to be happy.
We all hope. It’s what connects us. I’ve shared so many of my hopes in these blogs. I don’t really want to repeat them all here again. So what are some of your hopes?

10 Points: Name the Artist and Song of the lyrics below
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
10 Points: Name the Artist and Song of the lyrics below
I walk the wire every night
I can't decide between wrong and right
I've lost control over the thing I do
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you
Now the one who never took a chance
Becomes a victim of circumstance
I've lost my way, now I'm so confused
Cos I'm hopelessly falling in love with you
10 Points: Name the Artist and Song of the lyrics below
I can stand with the weight of the world
On my shoulders
I can fight with the toughest of the tough
I can laugh in the face
Of all my insecurities
Anytime, anywhere, anything
I'm strong enough
But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly
Falling in love
