Ok lots to say here but before I take the time I have resources for everyone that are....preparatory to that discussion! I really feel this is something God is giving me as a mission. To spread news about the endless joy available even in the darkest of times through delighting in Christ.
So some links to prepare you from the prophet of joy John Piper:
The Quest for Joy - a series on this topic that is unparalleled!
but for the nutshell version go here:
The Supremacy of Christ and Joy in a Postmodern world
this was a message given at a big conference and sums this whole theme up in a marvelous way
I want to take a lot of time and prayer and thinking before I release anything incomplete about joy. So be patient but it will be coming soon.

Well it is obvious you are qualified to talk about this. You are covered in the joy of the Lord. Every where you go you tend to bring laughs and tears of joy. I listened to both of the links you gave us. Many things to process. I am interested in what you have to say. I must admit I haven't taken joy seriously enough. Thank you for redirecting my thougths.
Thanks Tamara! God has been gracious to me and John Piper is one instrument of his that He has used so often to bring me back to the truth! Joy is my portion and my duty! Why live without it?
