We notice that ‘joy’ is one of the fruit of the spirit.

What helps that joy to be in evidence in your life,
or to grow further in your life?

Personally, joy is an inner phenomenon. Genuine joy, I find, is unconditional - independent of situation/circumstance. To be solidly standing on the Rock of Life, watching and praying to ensure a closeness to the Lord (knowing where I am in relation to Him), and knowing that the Lord is presently leading me to a greater degree, brings joy to the forefront regardless of personal attacks from various worldly/fleshly factions - from within and without.

Meditation upon how the Lord Jesus has led and is leading me to make transformational personal changes whereby I am no longer recognizable as the person I was, is thrilling and brings the power of joy surging to the forefront of my consciousness,

Overcoming personal demons and blood family roots of dysfunction have my new spirit from Jesus resonating within me. Joy is also about entering into a dimension of gratitude, where my new spirit is teeming with thanksgiving to Christ Jesus for making participation in this operation of God possible.

Joy is a higher awareness of that cloud of witnesses, rejoicing along with all those over-comers in Christ. The genuine follower of Christ is never actually alone, without fellowship or comfort.

Embracing the goodness from situations of otherwise depressing magnitudes can be so profoundly and pervasively rewarding, that the spiritual energy thereof seems boundless and actually redeeming of these dark depressing spells in these present times.

Great joy is derived from the experience of being extricated from my blood family (unconverted unrepentant family tree - ties that truly bind) and godless associations that fed only the carnal nature. Such extrication became possible as the Lord Jesus made introduction to a fresh and new experience with a close and abiding relationship with authentic Bible-believers; a new family, this time based on the teachings of Christ.

Many of her remarks are quite offensive and rude when she talks about Christians.

The Huffy One is a termagant who earns a living by disrespecting the views of those she does not agree with. She is relentless in her sarcasm and nasty in her commentary. She is anti everything that is good.

I have a play station 3 and have recently purchased a flight simulator game called Heroes Over Europe. I’ve been playing it with the regular PS3 Controler. However, I have been getting mixed reviews on the playing experience that a joy stick provides. If there is any one who has purchased a joy stick to play a flight simulator game can you please give me your honest opinion? Thank you.

yes it certainly does.
it’s like driving a car w/out a steering wheel.
i know, pilots swear they pilot the car as much with the brakes and accelerator then w/ the steering wheel, but w/out the wheel, it simply doesn’t work, does it?
same for the flight simulator, certainly if you wish to make it as real as can be (which, w/ a war flight sim is maybe not your primary interest?) a stick is a whole difference.
