HOPE - just when we need it......

So my lesson in RS this week is on the "Infinite Power of Hope" based on a talk given by the "handsome" President Dieter Uchtdorf in October general conference.


It's amazing how often people use the word "Hope". Barrack Obama used it today in his inauguration address "We have chosen HOPE over fear".


George Washington used it (as quoted by Obama) "...when nothing but HOPE and virtue could survive...."


Mark Shurtleff (Utah Attorney General) used it in a radio interview "I HOPE everybody in Utah will remember him (Obama) in their prayers. He will need it."


On CBS Sunday Morning this past Sunday, an artist named Shepard Fairey, talked about designing an Obama poster. I'm sure you have all seen it - a picture of Obama - originally with the word "Progress" across the bottom. It was requested he change that word to "HOPE".
