there is an interesting article on the Evangelical Lutheran Board of Pensions Website on the value of laughter. I highly recommend it. https://www.elcabop.org/upload/documents/80_547_lw_4.pdf
While you are deep in serious thinking, consider the following.
A World Without Sin
Where would religion be without sin? Can you imagine the effect on the churches of our community if sin suddenly disappeared? Can’t you just see the fire-sales going on around the city? “Going out of business. Not enough sin. All items on sale. Prayer are half-price. Incense and candles at 70% off. Unemployed preachers free if you will carry them off. Self-righteous pronouncements bundled upon request. Great buildings for rent with excellent wine cellars.
Have a joyful day and take time to laugh a little. If you can’t find something that tickles your funny bone, then fake it and just go and laugh. Studies show that even that makes a difference.
