I didn't know I hinted at good news.
I can make some up if you like.
Hey, what do you want good news for, no one likes good news according to the news media, we want bad news.
Good news: Senator Speck, or Streak or Scratch or Something is moving to the Democratic Party, that is good news, I am a Republican. (Well, was-not sure what I am now)

Well, Carol....I snuck in and got me a big hunk of both kinds of peace. I was told that Jesus doesn't want me miserable and he also wanted me to be prosperous (both kinds) so, knowing no better I just took advantage of it.
I like sharing it too.

The world bases its peace on its resources, while God’s peace depends on relationships. To be right with God means to enjoy the peace of God. The world depends on personal ability, but the Christian depends on spiritual adequacy in Christ. In the world, peace is something you hope for or work for; but to the Christian, peace is God’s wonderful gift, received by faith. Unsaved people enjoy peace when there is an absence of trouble; Christians enjoy peace in spite of trials because of the presence of power, the Holy Spirit.
People in the world walk by sight and depend on the externals, but Christians walk by faith and depend on the eternals. The Spirit of God teaches us the Word and guides us (not drags us!) into the truth. He also reminds us of what He has taught us so that we can depend on God’s Word in the difficult times of life. The Spirit uses the Word to give us His peace (John 14:27), His love (John 15:9-10), and His joy (John 15:11).
“And the work of righteousness shall be peace, and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever” (Isa. 32:17).

There is so much truth in the claim that Jesus gives us peace.
I wonder what we give to Jesus? The cross ? Ulcers ? Stress ? An hour a week ? A want list ?
