Do It With Joy

 I come from a family that considers work and responsibility to be the only mindsets worth cultivating.  Since I have a goofy sense of humor and am frequently  observed to laugh out loud, I am the black sheep of the family.  However, God wants us to be happy.  He doesn't think we should shirk our duties, but He sees nothing wrong in our being happy while doing so.  In fact, Christians are to BE happy; that is part of our being a "peculiar people".
