A. We live in an uptight world.
1. Stress related problems have become epidemic in our culture.
2. Health, relationships, personal safety, etc. Are all affected by the uptight state most are in today.
B. We are discovering, through the sermon on the mount, happiness is an inside job.
1. Uptight people are not happy people.

C. We need to discover ways to reduce the tension in our lives.

D. Dinner: 2 loaves garlic bread; 4 cans or large pitcher coke; 1 large sausage; mushroom and cheese pizza; 3 snickers bars.
E. Late evening snack: entire frozen sara lee cheesecake (eaten directly from the freezer.
