Humor is a prelude to faith and Laughter is the beginning of prayer. (Reinhold Niebuhr)
Don't take yourself
so dog-gone seriously!
Who are you to think you
can change anything,
anybody, even you?
Jesus says you can't
change a hair's color.
Chemicals aside.
The Psalms say God laughs.
People laughed at Jesus.
We can go along with feeling
the laughingstock,
but so naming
others so we won't be.
Or we can find the joy
and laugh with no object,
no derision, just giddyness.
And giddy, giggling, rollicking,
finding God comes more naturally.
Could that be because
God is laughter, joy?
so dog-gone seriously!
Who are you to think you
