Hope rises

Bettie Gray

"People Can Change; that gives me hope," said author Studs Terkel in a Hope magazine interview last summer (July/August 2002).

It is indeed good to see people change—to see them grow spiritually, gain peace, lose fear. But their progress shouldn't come as a shock to us. To freeze-frame a person's character is unfair ... and as off-track as being amazed when we see that the four-year-old we once knew has changed dramatically (My, how you've grown!) since our last meeting—a decade earlier.
