Laugh and the world laughs with you...

Sometimes my kids are so funny! A few days ago, we were watching a Ken Davis DVD. Ken was telling a story about a car accident he and his wife had gotten into, as he explained "we hit a cow doing 70 mile per hour" TJ, who is the most serious kid I know, very deadpan says "wow, fast cow". I about split a seam laughing so hard.
Our family is one that likes to laugh alot. We laugh mostly at ourselves. Laughter does good, like a medicine, Solomon wrote in the book of proverbs. We should be some of the healthiest people around, because we sure like to laugh. What a wonderful way Creator God distinguishes us from the animals. Animals do not laugh, they do not detect irony, nor do they enjoy a good pun (I know because I've tried a few on our pet rabbit, she doesn't crack a smile). Animals are concerned with only one thing...survival. Man on the other hand has been created for something much higher. To bring glory to God and to ENJOY His presence forever. What higher calling can there possibly be?

You need to get out more if you are trying to get the rabbit to laugh. That is funny a 70 mph cow. Keep on laughing and keep sharing. Love ya
