"Laughter rises out of tragedy, when you need it the most, and rewards you for your courage."
-Erma Bombeck
These are tough times. And getting through these times is going to take hard work and lots of hope. When both of those are in short supply, we can turn to humor to help us summon the extra energy to push forward with a smile. But for some, finding humor in dark places is more difficult. That's where I'd like to offer my assistance. You see, God provides people with tools to do the work of life. To some, He gave courage to fight the hard battles. To others, He gave keen intelligence to figure out life's most complex problems. On and on He went giving out special gifts to the people of the world. At the end of His day, He looked around to survey the work He had done, and just as He was closing up for the day, I finally found the room where all of this was going on, and all He had left, was a pair of funny pants. They fit me fine.
Laughter isn't JUST for laughs. Humor helps us find creative solutions to problems. Humor can be used as a great tool to lower defenses of wary listeners and allows them to actually hear what you have to say. Not only does humor grease the wheels to make things work better, it allows us to have a good time while it's happening.
I want to use this blog as a place to explore the use of humor; to solve problems, make us smile and laugh, and to save the world. Thanks for joining me.
