We Should be more joyful but get trapped into the mentality that permeates our culture - God is above the culture and makes it all worthwile even the blahs, headaches, frustrations, grouchiness, envy, strife etc Rejoice again Rejoice ! That is the main Bible Message !
We Want Excitement in life we follow trends, new wave, new styles, new things, new tech...yet a life with God is an adventure if you stay close to Him ! If Not its a drag !
We need a break yet there is always a distraction to stay tune for something. Truly we are programmed well. Take 5 minutes and think about God and your own creative gift of life from Him
