Where’s the laughs?
For any of you that don’t know me, I love pratical pranks and jokes. I think God created humor for a reason. I even think God has a sense of humor. Have you ever read 2 Kings 2:23-24? I find that to be a bit humorous that these kids make fun of a prophet and then get eaten by a bear. In fact, one of favorite depictions of Christ is seen here in this photograph…
The first time I saw this picture was a Asbury Seminary and I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw it. It made me realize that Christ enjoyed life and we are to do the same. He found great joy in people and in the blessings that the Father has given to His people. Where has that gone in today’s society? We are so busy going here to there with meetings, sports practices, get togethers, and the like that we have lost sight on how to BE instead of what do DO. The Source will be staring a sermon series in late August and early September on what it means to just BE. I think everyone, including the church, needs to get back to enjoying what God has given us instead of worrying about tomorrow and what it will bring. Whenever I start to lose sight of this, I love having reminders like this picture to bring me back to the joy I know in Christ. Practical pranks give me this feeling as well… What are your thoughts to this? Enjoy these!
