I (Bill) grew up assuming that seriousness is deeply connected to Spiritual maturity. The slow ballad worship song was more meaningful that singing Happy Day, that bowing my head in quiet, somber prayer, must be more meaningful than celebrating what God is up to.  And yet…..One of the things scripture names that should be core to our identity is joy.  That of all people those who love and follow God have more to celebrate, more to praise about, more to be joyful about than any other people.
