If we require major changes in the basic circumstances of
life and significant events—like winning a million dollars—in order to find
real joy, then it will tend to elude us.
Joy, in life, is typically experienced in simple moments, it involves
taking pleasure in little things. So, I
hope you notice lots of things to bring laughter and joy into your life
today. A great place to begin is to
remember that God loves you.
This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

Simpler Is Almost Always Better
Some people do not like simplicity because the justification
of their job/position/career/role/status requires that they make things
complicated; even if they aren’t all that complicated. (This is part of what Jesus railed against
with the religious leaders of His day.)
But, in most cases, almost any time something is simpler, it is better.

The Beauty of Simplicity
In a culture like ours that is strongly oriented towards more, more, more, it can be an incredible relief to discover the simplicity and beauty of less.

I Like Simplicity
The older I get, the more impressed I am with “simplicity”. I know, it’s not fancy. In a way, that’s the point. There’s something beautiful and elegant about simple things. It’s part of what makes the Gospel of Jesus Christ so attractive. “For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.” 1 Cor.2:2. Ah, yes…simplicity.
