Virtue: Living Uncommon in a Common World

In the beginning years of launching our church, I was standing in a small, congested hallway where our bathrooms and steps met. I was having a fun conversation with a group of teenage girls, talking about life, school, parents, and of course, boys. We were laughing and joking around when one of the girls mentioned something about "happily ever after." I made the comment that happily ever after was for everyone. One by one each of the girls concluded that happily ever after doesn't exist. I said, "What do you mean happily ever after doesn't exist? I'm living it right now." They responded with, "Happily ever after only works for you."
