Sipping coffee, chatting with friends, we were all in agreement that the economy is depressing.

Wake up.

It wasn’t the de-caffeinated coffee that woke me up but an epiphany—Christ.

The agreeable conversation was really an argument against my own happiness. I was blindly arguing for depression.

I know better.

The economy can’t affect my happiness. God created happiness. God created me to express happiness. Love makes me happy.
