Most of us wear the same clothes very often, even though we fill our closets with many more choices. Similarly, we seem to have favorite words and phrases.

Just off the top of my head,  I can come up with two of my husband Norm’s words used in repetition, ‘stuff’ and ‘potential.’  The first annoys me; the latter challenges me.

He sees the potential while I see the problem.

Abraham, when pressured with problems, saw potential in impossibilities!

“He believed in God, who gives life to the dead and calls things into existence that do not exist. Against hope, with hope he believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what had been spoken: So will your descendants be (Romans 4:17b-18 HCS).”
