10/20/09…Father, I am marveling at something of which I find humorous. You know how we like to laugh and smile. During the course of the day, all of us look forward and hold on to those moments when we can laugh and smile. If we could, I am sure all of us would choose this over eating. And yet, from Old to New Testament I cannot ever recall a joke being told, that in itself is very funny to me. I cannot recall reading someone teasing another in good jest because of their love for them. I cannot recall any humorous story being told with a funny punch line. There are mentions of joy and mentions of happiness, maybe a few instances of laughing although I cannot remember the word laugh being mentioned if at all.
I just find this ironic.
What does this say about…? It seems like a glaring oversight on Your part (I am now chuckling at myself for having the audacity to write this). But You see what I mean? I find that amazing and yet when I read most of my personal writing as a relationship to You, humor seems to be absent, instead weighted down by deep spiritual seriousness.
