Continuing our look at various forms of humor to keep us healthy.
There are times it helps to consider that what is happening may reflect God’s sense of humor.
God, if you wanted to teach me humility, couldn’t you have found an easier way than calling me to this congregation.
I accept the doctrine that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, but did we have to gather so much evidence in one congregation.
There are times when we need to find some humor in the workings of the universe.
I understand that rain falls on the just and the unjust, but did it have to happen on the day of the church picnic?
I know the Bible says that the meek shall inherit the earth. Why didn’t someone explain to me that that only takes place after the arrogant and the rich have died off?
And for chaplains in hospitals: Where is it written that chaplains are valued for their spiritual depth, nurses are valued for their ability to make doctors look good, and doctors are valued according to how they affect the GNP of our economy.
OK, not all of them are great, but I hope it illustrates how humor can help you step back, breathe, and recognize that since we are not the savior, maybe we can learn to enjoy life where we are not always in control.
