One of the cool things that makes people special, and that I appreciate very much, is our ability to laugh.\u00a0 There is no animal that laughs.\u00a0 There are some critters who can mimic the sounds–like parrots and hyenas.\u00a0 But no other creature has a funny bone like people do.\u00a0 We can hear a joke or watch a video on YouTube or simply think of something in our own heads and get an emotional response that can’t be contained by our bodies.\u00a0 And this crazy sound erupts from our mouths and we can shake and cry and release chemicals in our bodies and get all sorts of wild physiological responses to something that just happened to be “funny”.\u00a0 At times, as much as we try, we can’t even stop it.\u00a0 And the more we fight it the harder it seems.<\/p>\n
Of course there’s no need for laughter.\u00a0 It’s obviously not something that nature requires for survival.\u00a0 It would be silly to think that laughter evolved to serve some purpose.\u00a0 But can you imagine what the world would be like without laughter?<\/p>\n
Obviously God must have a good sense of humor, otherwise nobody would.\u00a0 So I’m thankful that God created us to laugh, to find joy in things, and even when things are at their worst sometimes to be able to laugh at our own situation, and help others by sharing humor.<\/p>\n
Thank you Jesus for creating funny bones!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
