telling a better story

The Church has an amazing story.  A story full of hope and beauty – longings met, sins forgiven, reconciliation made possible, and grace abounding –  all because of one single Jewish carpenter who put His chisel of Word and Presence to the hard-as-stone hearts of His people and gave His life to ensure they would…

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.
