Laughter

There is plenty in this world to cause us sorrow. Solemness and sobriety are often appropriate attitudes. But there is much to laugh about as well.

My pal, Pastor Joe Thorn, linked to this blog which gives us RC Sproul's thoughts regarding the question, "did Jesus ever laugh?" Here's a snippet:

In the Wisdom Literature of the Old Testament—for example, in Ecclesiastes—we’re told that certain things are appropriate at certain times. There’s a time to plant, a time to reap, a time to build, a time to tear down; there’s a time to dance, a time to sing, a time to laugh, a time to cry. Since God has, in his seasons, appointed appropriate times for laughter, and Jesus always did what was appropriate, it would seem to me that when it was time to laugh, he laughed.
