Especially the story about how your bacon was saved :) I've been thinking about joy a lot lately. It's already in us, but I've found something that brings it to the surface. Darlene Zschech prayed an inspirational prayer on Israel Houghton's CD and she said that she wanted to live a life poured out - a life where our love for others was carved out on the streets of our neighborhood. When people are in a place of trusting in God for their own needs (we all have them), we are free to live a life poured out by helping bring peace and joy to others through spiritual and practical means. There's no better way to experience joy than to do something fun and unexpected for others that connects them with God and relieves their burden. I can't wait for a Christmas season full of JOY!
