• Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposite?

• If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed?

If there is a point to this post, it's that God has a sense of humor. Anyone who made the aardvark and platypus definitely knows humor. Most contemporary humor like Jimmy Kimmel's version or even christian comedienne Chondra Pierce's style tends to center around bodily functions and embarrassing people. That's not real humor. Real humor is laughing not because it's taboo or racy, but because it's actually funny or ironic. God nestles humor everywhere. Just ask Liz Curtis Higgs, who seems to find it easily. Mark Lowry is a goofball in the best sense of the word, but he's also an accomplished minister who can make you split your sides one moment and contemplate the depth of God's love for you in the next.

True humor opens us up and relieves the tension. In a moment of laughter, we connect with something intangible and memorable. God made our hearts and he made them to laugh.
