And if I had wings, I would fly.

What makes you happy?


A good grade on a really difficult test?

Extra money for a shopping spree?

The knowledge that one more person thinks you're attractive?



We were hit in the face by the concept of global vision all week last week. We were challenged to open our minds to what's going on in the world around us, not just in our small-bubble lives. We were begged to see the big picture.

But the first step is to take our eyes off ourselves.

If the things that make you happy have to do with what's happening to only you, then I challenge you to change that. We do not live isolated, lonely lives; we are growing together, living together, finding God in new ways together. It shouldn't be solely about I ME MYSELF. It should be about US WE YOU THEY. What can we do to make someone else happier? What can we say to brighten someone else's day? How much of ourselves can we give?



So what makes you happy?


A good grade that your best friend got on a really difficult test?

Extra money to spend on someone else?

The knowledge that you made one more person feel special?





It's all about the love, people.
