dancing with the rain: reflections on the Noah movie

dancing with the rain: reflections on the Noah movie

There are a whole lot of opinions floating around out there about the movie, Noah, and while I usually try to stay out of the fray, this time I really can’t.  I have read too many misinformed, angry, and judgmental reviews of this movie, and I am so disappointed.  Church, it’s almost Easter – the…

Meet Happy
Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
