Have you ever had one of those days where things are not going your way and a few things happen that seem like they should dampen your day? It is cool when that happens, especially when you do not even really know why you feel so good even though things may not be as you want them to be. You bang your head on a metal beam, does not phase you; you have your finger smashed, you yell and shake it off (not the finger of course); you feel exhausted, but inside there is this tiny bit of joy within you that you cannot explain. A joy that is for no reason--perhaps like the God-given peace that we cannot comprehend like in Philippians 4:7. Or am I digging farther than I need to, attributing this to something that is for no reason, so why should it have explanation?
