Stress.

• No one wants more and most think they have too much.
• Plenty of books on how to be "free" of it.
• It can help speed you physical death.
• Without some of it we may never accomplish anything.
• If we can reduce and manage it, we can enjoy and not endure our lives.

Note: Remember that moment with my Dad I referred to in last Sunday's message?  Here it is.

What do you guard and protect? Your family?  Reputation?  Baseball card collection? How about safeguarding your joy? Remember when you got saved?  Joy moved in.

But then something happened.  And we aren't sure what it was.

I have an idea.  It has do to with a scorecard. 

And I will talk about it this Sunday as we continue to unpack the series, "Enjoying The Rest Of Your Life."

A customer was bothering the waiter in a restaurant. First, he asked that the air conditioning be turned up because he was too hot, then he asked for it to be turned down because he was too cold, and so on for about half an hour.

Surprisingly, the waiter was very patient; he walked back and forth and never once got angry. So finally, a second customer asked him why he didn't throw out the pest.
"Oh, I really don't care or mind," said the waiter with a smile. "We don't even have an air conditioner." (insert cheesy laugh)
This week we are continuing talking about "Enjoying the rest of you life" and talking about "The Joy Killer - Complaining."
