Neh 8:10b For the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Ps 5:11 But let all those that put their trust in You rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them: let them also that love Your Name be joyful in You.

Ps 16:11 You will show me the path of life: in Your presence is fulness of joy; at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

"Delight yourselves in God, yes, find your joy in him at all times. Have a reputation for gentleness, and never forget the nearness of your Lord. Don't worry over anything whatever; tell God every detail of your needs in earnest and thankful prayer, and the peace of God which transcends human understanding, will keep constant guard over your hearts and minds as they rest in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:4-7 Phillips).

Is it possible to live in an atmosphere of answered prayer?

You're welcome...

Now that we're back from Williamsburg (or as I sometimes call it in my mind, "Billsburg,") we're catching up on the shows we Tivo'd... like Mad Men, the Soup, Saturday Night Live and... okay, I'll admit it - Eastbound and Down. 

Now, if you aren't familiar with this lump of coal/gem of a show, it follows the zany exploits of Kenny Powers, aging minor league baseball player from Shelby, North Carolina. Currently playing with the fictional Myrtle Beach Mermen, Kenny is struggling to deal with new fatherhood and to reclaim his status as "team leader," despite the rise of a despicable nemesis named Ivan - who has a haircut that is even WORSE than Kenny's own curly mullet.
