There are those who claim that humor is not appropriate on Sunday mornings. They are sober, solemn, dedicated people who look upon humor as silly or mundane and therefore out of place in a church. I do not agree. I believe there is goodness in laughing. In humor is bravery and sharing in response pain and sorrow and defeat.
Laughter is a religious affirmation.
We laugh at the reality of death. We laugh at our foolishness. We laugh at our suffering. We laugh at our illness. And we laugh at our pretentiousness.
