I am not asking if you giggle or laugh a lot. I have seen some deeply-hurt people use laughter as a cover. I am not asking if you are enjoying pleasure . Pleasure is a fool's-gold look alike of joy. Not that there is anything wrong with pleasure - or laughter for that matter.
Pleasure is a real, and often a good experience.
But it doesn't last. Pleasure and laughter fade. It IS possible to have, you know. Remember the bible passage we just read. We said last week that our moral, emotional and spiritual insides are sort of like a computer programme with some glitches and bugs in it.
