I tell my story over and over… most don't understand... this is what I learned at seminary, this is what I know to be truth... Jesus' message was, and only was (my base interpretation of and simply),
"Life is tough and we all are here to help each other"

I think our purpose is not to be happy in the general sense, but to have joy in the real sense... the joy of commitment, the joy of working through hard times with others (loved ones and neighbors)...
