He Who Laughs, Lasts

Many people think the Bible is only filled with commands labeled "Thou shalt not". They assume the Bible is all about restrictions and making you lead a boring life. But this should put a smile on your face: Having fun is good for your health. God tells us in his Word that life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured. "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones." (Proverbs 17:22 NIV) I like to put it this way, "He who laughs, lasts." Learn to laugh at yourself, put some play in every day, relax, chill out, have some fun.

As my earthly father once said. " if I had it all to do over again I would take Jesus more serious and life less serious ."

Truth is we're not getting out of here alive anyway unless the Lord returns while we're still alive.
