Last week my sister-in-law told this procrastinator, “We all need to remember to whistle while we work!” Why? Does it have to be fun? Come on, why not? “A merry heart does good like medicine.” Aren’t we more likely to do things that are energy giving? Let’s put off the sour faces and put on…

Colossians 3:9-10
