Where have all the J.O.'s Gone?

You know life. 
especially at 5:49 am on a wednesday morning 
after 3 straight days of misery and sickness. 
Of Isolation due to the wanting of keeping 
those who you love not sick away from you.
Can seem pretty bleak.

I am feeling pretty bleak right now. I really want to be asleep to keep myself in a positive mood.
and its times like this that I need something that most pastors are not fond of.

That is known as the Joel Olsteen.

It doesn't matter your situation. It doesn't matter how bad its been. 
Joel has a positive word for you.
I am being serious when I say listening to the man makes me feel uplifted.
Now granted I realize he is not teaching deep spiritual truths but sometimes it is just nice to sit and here how things could be done in a positive manner all the time.
and from everything I have read of Joel. He is onstage who he is off.
I don't believe rumors or anything else but mostly I have never heard any.

You can talk trash about the size of his church. how much money they bring in.
But they help millions of people a year.
Every week they feed and clothe the homeless and invite them to church.
They run shelters throughout the week and every sunday they get new clothes and food.

Its a beautiful thing.

Don't overlook being a joel olsteen to someone. I try to lift spirits wherever I go. I hope I accomplish this.
I can definately tell I missed church on Sunday for being sick. I also think missing tomorrow is making me feel this way.

Psalm 121
I lift my eyes up to the mountains
Where does my help come from
My help comes from You
Maker of heaven, creator of the earth
I lift my eyes up to the mountains
Where does my help come from
My help comes from You
Maker of heaven, creator of the earth
