However, I believe Christ summed it all up in one sentence: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you."

The problem is that it only made me and the people around me miserable because I was so selfish. With His help, I've mended my ways and I am vastly contented with my situation; to borrow a phrase from Miss Austen!DonnaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13890459804766354255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1147531365616421612006-05-13T07:42:00.000-07:002006-05-13T07:42:00.000-07:00Apologies for those whose comments didn't get post...Apologies for those whose comments didn't get posted.

They did not intend for it to mean that everyone did as they pleased in spite of endangering themselves, endangering others or endangering the country. The pursuit of happiness was the freedom to pursue worthwhile goals in life.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1147367620827853552006-05-11T10:13:00.000-07:002006-05-11T10:13:00.000-07:00Mrs. Sherman, thanks for stopping by my blog & lea...Mrs. Sherman, thanks for stopping by my blog & leaving your little note! :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039504643371465874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1147361571562149562006-05-11T08:32:00.000-07:002006-05-11T08:32:00.000-07:00There are plenty of good pleasures that we are int...There are plenty of good pleasures that we are intended to have, but in pursuit of pleasure, we often miss them!Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-1147359470336345052006-05-11T07:57:00.000-07:002006-05-11T07:57:00.000-07:00Thank you for writing such a clear and cogent expl...Thank you for writing such a clear and cogent explanation of the difference between happiness and pleasure. What a thorough and sensible way to explain what "happiness" really is (and is not). <BR/><BR/>You are always a true Titus II teacher and example!
