"What do you do for fun?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

Our family used to go to the beach every spring break when our daughters were much younger. It had been several months so we enjoyed getting back to the ocean.

Our younger daughter was about three years old one spring and seemed particularly happy to get her bathing suit on and down to the water. When she got on the beach, she paused and looked up at the surf, squealed, and started running in circles. I videotaped her running in circles, and added my own narration, saying, "Sometimes you’re so happy you just have to run in circles." She’s in high school and still running. Recently, at her state’s indoor track meet, she ran on one relay team that finished second and another that finished third. As she came off the track, we remarked, "Sometimes you’re so happy you just have to run in circles."

What do you do to express how happy you are? What is your "running in circles?" God wants you to enjoy life, wants you to be happy. So get ready to run today or whatever it is you do as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living.
