A time to weep, and a time
to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. -Ecclesiastes 3:4
A merry heart does
good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. -Proverbs 17:22 (also Proverbs 15:13, 15; Romans 12:15; Philippians 4:8).
“There is so much sorrow and
heartache in the world, we should use every opportunity we have to laugh.” -Paige Patterson, president, Southwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary (swbts.edu).

A Little Humor:
Show me a man with both feet
on the ground, and I’ll show you a man who can’t get his pants on.
What if the hokey pokey
really is what it’s all about?
I’d give my right arm to be
ambidextrous.
Knowledge tells you a tomato
is a fruit; wisdom tells you not to put it in a fruit salad.
If you have a headache, do
what it says on the aspirin bottle: Take two, and KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN.
I childproofed my house, but
they still get in.
I’m so glad you called. I almost started to clean the house.
Have you laughed today?
