JOY ZONE IV
I want my joy to be like my disposal! Why? Well this week I was cleaning up after supper and ran the disposal, and after several seconds I flipped the switch to turn it off, and it kept running. Switch, switch, switch, switch, switch, switch, switch...it kept running. Finally, I had to go to the circuit breaker and turn it off. My Joy comes from the Lord, and is not turned of by my defective switch. It continues to run. Let's not take the analogy too far...what happens next week when the electritian gets it fixed? The POWER is still there!

JOY ZONE III
Keep your heart occupied with gladness. Based on Ecc. 5:20, God gives us JOY! He can erase those things that keep you from seeing it...Like taking away the sour notes when I sing, so I hear Taylor, or removing the klutziness of my feet, so I dance like Benji? Not exactyly, but helping me see personally the blessings that come my way, and giving me opportunity to ponder, to act and to keep my heart occupied with the gladness that results.

JOY ZONE II

Today I was trying to upload a picture of make up. My message was to be about how we can spend more time creating beauty on the outside, and neglect the attention needed to foster beauty from the inside, through our relationship with the Creator of beauty in both places. But I got an error uploading the picture. So that got me thinking about images. What happens when people can't see the image we are uploading? It's there, but hidden. What about Joy? Can they see it? Is it "uploaded" in our persona? Or is it buried? Nurture the relationship and uploading will be error free!
