    Joy does not become elusive to people. People choose to elude joy and God, for that matter. I remember how Jennifer Aniston’s character in the movie “The Good Girl” resented her lady friend’s consistent cheerfulness by saying: “I wonder what the h--- that woman is so d--- happy about.” It’s ...read more

    Genesis 37: God knew Joseph needed a Pit Stop if his dreams were ever going to become reality. It makes me think of a young couple who had life going along just like they’d Dreamed.
