I named this blog, Count it all Joy, James One:Two because, even in the midst of sorrow, I've learned to count it all joy. If we can understand that the circumstance will lead to a growth in our character, then we can count it ALL joy. In the hard days, the worst days, the dark days, we can count it ALL joy.
