Finding joy

There are hippies. Joyful hippies. There are Christans. Joyful Christians. There are hypocrites. Joyful hypocrites. There are technicians. Joyful technicians. They say that joy is not based on circumstance. But isn't Salvation a circumstance? Hhhhmm. The joy is returning. I may be confusing it with something else. All Ive wanted is to escape my circumstances. I'm on my way. Joy. I barely ask.
