About the Blog

‘The Sky, Not The Grave’ was created to share Hope’s knowledge and love of God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Bible, and the Holy Catholic Church.

The blog’s name is derived from the lyrics of one of Hope’s favorite hymns titled ‘It Is Well With My Soul’ also known as ‘When Peace Like a River’. Lyrics written by Horatio G. Spafford in 1873, music and setting by Philip P. Bliss in 1876.
