Happy 101 Award

[image error]Thanks to Morgan Mandel for awarding me the Happy 101 Award. To accept the award, I am to list ten things that make me happy, then pass the award to five other bloggers.

Our society so often focuses on the negative rather than positive, on what's wrong rather than what's right, on unhappiness rather than happiness. So I'm delighted to talk about things that make me happy and hope you take a few minutes to think about what makes you happy as well.

Ten things that make me happy:

God loves me...

Scripture for Easter Sunday

Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran...

And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb. The next day, that...

Scripture for Maundy Thursday

Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God, rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a...
