David Wells on Feeling Good

David Wells on Feeling Good: "Feeling good about yourself is not the same thing as actually being good. In fact, people often feel good about themselves in moments when they should not." - The Courage to Be Protestant

I found this interesting video on positive psychology that is different from most "self-help" models of psychology:

http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/martin_seligman_on_the_state_of_psychology.html

The psychologist argues that in the testing he has done, there is very little correlation between the instantateous type of happiness that comes from instant gratification and true life-long happiness that comes from a life of meaning. I thought it was very interesting that even pscyhology is realizing that happiness is beyond pleasure.

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
