    The end of Joseph's life provides an opportunity to think about the legacy he left . . . and the legacy we will leave.

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” The findings of "Positive Psychology" researchers are remarkably similar to what the Bible teaches about finding happiness.

    "You and I were created for joy, and if we miss it, we miss the reason for our existence.” That’s what it said in the book I pulled from the bookstore shelf, You Gotta Keep Dancin’. The subtitle really intrigued me. It said, "In the midst of life’s hurts, you can choose joy!" Well I wasn’t very ...read more
