Tingle...and Tink

Take a ride on the mighty lion
Take a hold of the golden mane
This is the love of Jesus
So good but it is not tame...

I like when things stir my insides. For example, I was listening to 'Little Boy Heart Alive', a song today by Andrew Peterson, http://www.andrew-peterson.com/players/farcountry/thefarcountry.html and when I heard these lyrics...it felt nice.

I don't really understand these little tingles in my heart. For one, I've felt them while reading the Bible, listening to music, watching fireworks (ok Wishes), looking at nature, and even while watching Peter Pan...yep. Anyways, I'm not quite ready to claim that these feelings (and by feelings I don't mean emotions, I mean something I tangibly feel) are revelations of the Spirit indicating the goodness or truth in something...again, Peter Pan...I mean but seriously, he's lying there completely defeated and hopeless, but then Wendy kisses him and he starts glowing... For a manlier example think the last scene of Lord of the Rings

Whatever, I like happiness. Now I know there's a distinction between 'happiness' and 'Biblical Joy'...but all I'm trying to do is thank God for the tingle.
