Hope Floats

(for the 3 people on google looking for the source)

Michael Luo's Times article on Jeremy Lin ends with the quote:

A Bible verse that he has cited as a favorite came to mind, encouraging believers that “suffering produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not disappoint us.”

It's a Bible verse from Romans 5:3-5, but not quite (" because we know that suffering produces perseverance; ⁴ perseverance, character; and character, hope. ⁵ And hope does not disappoint us").  Perseverance is missing. I've got a nerdtastic story on that (see post above).  But first, I have to do some boring things, like showering and going to school.  And trying not to rip my jeans on the way out the door.
