I caught God laughing at me this morning. I was recording and getting ready to post some great wisdom and insight that I had. I waxed eloquent. It wasn’t bad.
And then as I closed my iPad, shut down the application, and went back to considering the majesty of God, I caught Him laughing at me. Since I don’t take myself too seriously, I would say He was laughing with me rather than at me. The point is that we can take ourselves so seriously that we lose all contact with reality and balance. We get so excited about things. We worry so much. We grab an idea and we chew on it until it’s like nothing but an old slipper a dog got hold of.
And God heaves a big sigh, shakes His head and if He’s in the right mood has a good laugh. It is a good thing that God has a sense of humor. It would be terrible if He took everything we did seriously.
I hope to keep Him laughing.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
