Recently, a friend of mine posted on FaceBook the question "How are hope and wish different or alike?"  The question immediately piqued my curiosity and I promptly replied with the following: "Hope is that light of faith, light of Grace, that Light that keeps me going even in the darkest most troubling times.  Wish is just that, a desire for an outcome that really may or may not be in my best interest.  I can live without wishing.  Living without hope would be miserable as life would seem "hope"-less." Helping each of us nurture that light of faith, that light of Grace, that Light inwardly is the mission of this podcast in these times that can often seem dark and troubling.  These days we find ourselves in new territory with the social distancing and closedowns of so much in our society and the run on toilet paper, sanitizer, and so many household items at our grocery stores as schools were closed, businesses sent employees to work from home and so many public gathering events cancelled with the intention of helping halt the spread of Covid 19, the Corona Virus. I thought imaginally praying Psalm 139 would be a great way to anchor ourselves in hope and in faith during these uncertain times most of us have never navigated before as we are called to socially distance ourselves and stay at home and as some of us in larger cities where the outbreak is greater are asked to shelter in place.  I can think of no better way to "shelter in place" than to rest in that abiding presence of the divine as the psalmist teaches us in Psalm 139.
