<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This word requires as careful an examination as we
give to semantics and doctrine, and the traditional interpretation should not be
accepted merely because it is convenient.&nbsp; Happy, as Jim West suggested is
unsuitable for the reason that happiness is a response to some stimuli, whether
internal or external, and is thereby dependent on the situation one finds
himself in, or the attitude one has chosen to carry.&nbsp;&nbsp;Joy, on the
other hand, is a lifestyle which interprets all occurences as positive, and
which in fact determines much of what takes place in the life of the joyous
person.&nbsp; I cast my voter for MAKARIOS being translated "joyous", and
instead of supplying the present indicative "they are" to its occurences in
Matthew chapter 5, I append "should be".</FONT></DIV>
