That is something I desire. After I'm gone I want people to say I always felt better about myself after being with her. BIG CHANGE!!! You see if been told my whole life I'm funny. I had someone who once wanted to help me pursue a career in stand up comedy. His dream, not mine. Sadly after becoming a Christian I realized that much of my funniest stuff came at others expenses. I could get people to laugh about someone else at the drop of a hat. That person would be laughing about themselves as well. But is this a life of love? I could make people laugh but where is the lasting effects. I abandoned my humor for a time. That was boring. My room mate in college had a picture of Jesus laughing. I LOVED IT! Sadly I never thought of Jesus in that way, but I'm certain he probably laughed a lot. The scriptures tell us that children loved Jesus and were drawn to him. Well when was the last time your kids wanted to spend anytime with a grumpy guy who never smiled. I'm certain Jesus smiled and laughed a lot. He had to. I have truly worked on being funny without the cost of someone else's whatever. Still very much a work in progress. Now sarcasm let's save that for a whole other post. Still hoping we can vote it as spiritual gift! As for the stand up comedy bit, let's just say three kids later....well I'd do a sitcom!!!!Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Loved hanging out with her

You are very funny, and rarely at my expense unless I feed it to you......which I can do often ;) I like the tranformation that is so evident. Love the poster too, I didn't remember it from college until you pointed it out. What a hoot! But you are right, Jesus probably laughed a lot, HE afterall hung out with knuckleheads like us!!
ReplyDeleteI will say that you are my funniest friend & that is one of the many reasons why I LOVE you. But I also think you are an amazing listener & a wonderful encourager. I am so blessed to call you my friend & to have you in my life ;)
