A good friend of mine dropped me a note shortly after I preached last month, and one of the things he said was, “I think it was the first time people got to see you onstage.  You seemed very comfortable with yourself and your message.”  It struck me as a little funny…  I mean, who was I the last time…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 12): love, friendship, and seizing the day

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 12): love, friendship, and seizing the day

— 1 — I had the privilege of teaching at Torch Church last Sunday as part of our #shine series.  Jesus left us a new command: to love one another.  But what does that really look like?  Where do we get it wrong, and how does that affect the way the world views Jesus?  And…

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 10): rainbows, bridges, and brontosauri

7 Quick Takes Friday (vol. 9): the eclectic musical edition

  — 1 — I can’t say this week was completely uneventful.  It was, however, fairly quiet and low-key.  Visits to the chiropractor.  Long walks.  Lunch mid-week with one of my favorites.  Great conversations with amazing friends.  And summer.  It is finally summer!  And everyone in Illinois is happier and friendlier and has suddenly remembered why…

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. So those are the things I write about, along with a few other things that really matter to me, including faith and feminism. A bit about me: My name is Happy. I have an amazing talent for misplacing my keys, a deep appreciation for whomever looked at the coffee bean and thought, "Hey, I wonder what would happen if I roasted this?", and road trips to Michigan are pretty much my favorite.
