The Lighter Side

"There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven. ...
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance." (Ecclesiastes 3:1,4)

When Jesus said (about those who were being overly serious about religious "laws")
"You are like a person who picks a fly out of his drink and then swallows a camel" (Matthew 23:24),
do you think maybe He had a twinkle in His eye, or a grin on His face?

Our viewpoints wouldn't be complete without recognizing humor in our lives. You'll see humor in various areas of our site, reflecting the joy we have in doing God's work -- explore, and see what you can find.
