Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I responded to Charlie Brown today in a LOL way, about pursuit of bad guys, but in all seriousness I am constantly in pursuit of God’s favor. I know that to strive for the pursuit of righteousness is beyond me, but I have a dear friend, Jesus, that done that for me. He has done that for all of us, if e allow him nd follow him, for a closer relationship. I found a link today that explains the pursuit of righteousness, that I hope that y’all enjoy. Have a blessed day today and always in your pursuits in your desires.

We will never achieve happiness by chasing it; it isn't a reasonable goal; satisfaction with your life, taking care of others, being productive, all bring a measure of happiness. Happiness is a by product of other things.
