We keep trying to pull it and tug it and all the while it feels like we are slowly suffocating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou are allowed to laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe finger pointers and the self-appointed judges of what's appropriate and what isn't sit in the back row and scowl. They sing \"Joy to the World\" as if it were a funeral dirge. They say, \"Stop that laughing. You are in CHURCH!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou are allowed to laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJesus did. He must have. How could any human being (or divine being) made of love and joy spend all his life being a scowler and fun-spoiler?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost people don't know, just prior to his career as an itinerant minister Jesus took a shot a sketch comedy. Long before Abbot and Costello or the Pythons or any of those people on Saturday Night Live--there was Scott and Jesus, traveling around Jerusalem playing wedding receptions and open-mic nights. (Well there was no \"mics\" but you get the idea.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo what if it didn't last? Jesus and Scott took a shot. Now Jesus has moved on and we must take a look at the bits Scott saved so that some day you could hold this book. Someday in the midst of all the arguments...you could laugh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaugh. God is not judging you. God loves you. Sit back. Relax. Oh, and it's probably best not to drink coffee sitting across from someone you love while reading this book--just fair warning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOh, and did we mention?
