I find it amazing that just about everything that we do at this season of the year runs just the opposite of what we are supposed to be celebrating. We are busy celebrating the coming of the Promised Messiah that would bring, among many things, “Peace on Earth!” The Old Testament prophets identified the… Continue Reading
All I Want is to be Happy
The desire to be happy is a gift from God. If you are anything like me, then you have experienced how the feeling of happiness begins to fade at some time after the gift has been unwrapped. Deep down in our souls, we long for happiness that lasts. We long for joy. We have all… Continue Reading
