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…

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.
