about how you are going to respond to life.

Joy is life-changing.
Joy is an inside job – your job!
No one can find it for you, but once you have it,
no one can take joy away from you either.

It is a dynamic process that will change your life!

If Jesus, who drank so deeply of the world’s sorrow,
could be filled with so much fun and laughter, then so can I.
