As we navigate the ups and downs of life, we all experience moments of tragedy and heartbreak. In those times, it can be difficult to find comfort and hope. Loren Richmond shares how faith and the presence of God can provide a source of strength and peace even in the darkest of times.

In sports and in life, desperation is a concept that can have a significant impact. Take, for example, the NCAA basketball tournament. The pressure to win can lead players and coaches to desperate measures. But desperation is not limited to sports. As we see in the story of Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, the crowds and leaders were desperate for different things. This raises the question: what are we desperate for in our own lives? Are our priorities in the right place?
