Revealing the Joy

This is a new thing for me – writing in a personal tone for others to read.  I write every day of my life.  It’s an integral part of my day job.  However, my journal writing – my innermost thoughts and ponderings – those words are not typically for public consumption.

And yet, here I begin something new.

I say “something new” because it is new to me … and it is intentionally vague.  I don’t presume to know precisely where this adventure is going to lead me or you.  My hope is that we can begin to reveal the joy placed within each one of us.

Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God. – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.

Joy is not fleeting.  Joy can be found amidst the beauty and the sorrow.  It’s the master of both/and.  Joy remains with us, but sometimes it gets buried deep underneath the heaviness of life.  Let’s reveal it.
