"the Case Against Happiness"

An excerpt:

And then we might see children not as factors that may or may not be contributing to our happiness, but as opportunities to practice what most of us -- perhaps me most of all -- need to do more often, which is to put someone else before ourselves.
Read the whole article from The Atlantic HERE and let me know your thoughts.

I have a lot more to post in the coming months, but I was on vacation last week and I'm in Chicago at a youth conference this week.  Busy, busy, busy!  Please pray for my husband who is being the single dad this week.

Thanks to Chad for sharing the article on Facebook.
