A Tidbit

A close friend of mine gave me this verse at the most perfect time in our lives (isn't that how God works?). The Corley Clan always has a great time, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's always that easy!

Romans 5: 1 - 5

Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Also through Him, we have obtained access by faith into His grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope does not disappoint, because God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
