A Haunted House by Woolf

The title of this story seems very deceiving. People may look at it and think of a horror story about ghosts but in reality it's a very light hearted story. It starts off in the view of two ghosts who are observing a living couple as they try to figure out what is making the noise in the house. It goes on and the couple gets closer and closer to this so called treasure in the house. At the end of the story we find out the treasure was the happy memories the old ghost couple had when they owned the house. I found it very interesting that this "ghost story" was through the viewpoint of the ghosts instead of the people. It made it different and a unique reading experience. I would enjoy these kind of stories where it twists the normal standard into a differnt point of view.

Response of Hope

Dear Virginia,

Jeremiah 29:11 says "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. It is the low points of our lives that we tend to lose hope in ourselves. Your letter was touching and heart warming but your fear is holding you back. You have a husband that loves you dearly for who you are. You should not be afraid of this terrible disease but fight through it. Live through this trial and live for happiness with the ones you love.

Sincerely,

Henry Huang

Trials

If you can keep calm when all is wrong,

If you can continue with the faintest breath,

If you can believe when all hope is lost,

If you can face the toughest fears

And not fall into despair,

But come out with hope and faith,

You will become much more than great.
