I wanted to write something funny, but that seemed frivolous in the face of wars, political corruption, sexual assaults, and rampant gun violence.

I wanted to write something humorous, but that seemed callous in the face of homelessness, earthquakes, famine, floods, and fires.

I wanted to write something lighthearted, but that seemed heartless in the face of hatred, discrimination, deception, disease, and death.

Yet, Proverbs 17:22 says a merry heart does good like a medicine.

And Jesus said: “…but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

So I’m writing something funny because the world needs a good laugh.
