"You can study the Word of God cover to cover in as many translations as you like, and nowhere will you find that the aim of our lives is the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence of our great nation allows us to pursue it, but the Word of God commands us to pursue God and love him with everything we have."
Sheila Walsh

I taped a quote on my journal cover, from a devotion magazine.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
God always surprises me.
Many of those surprises bring happiness, joy, awe, and even laughter. But, nothing compares to knowing Jesus and being known by Him. I've learned from Romans that nothing separates me from His love. When happiness seems out of reach, I cling to that truth. In so doing, I grow to love Him more.
Blessed Resurrection Day, Everyone!
