This blog contains comments and teaching regarding living the Christian faith and comments on the intersection of faith and many other aspects of life from pop culture to science. It also has some stories--hopefully they are amusing stories--from my life. ~Dan

I'm going to keep laughing...
It has occasionally been suggested that perhaps I goof
around too much and do not take things seriously enough.
“You’re a pastor of a church, Dan. Come on! You should be
more somber and stern. There is significant trouble in this world, buster!”
“…And you could stand to lose a few pounds, too, while you’re
at it.”
But I believe laughter and humor are a gift God has given
us to survive in a world that has the potential to be incredibly discouraging. I
realize there is a time to be serious. However, I also realize that laughter
and humor are good.
Oh sure, they can be used recklessly and insensitively.
That’s true. But it is also true that they can be important aspects of the joy
God gives us. Joy that is central to knowing Him. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:16)
So I hope you won’t be offended but I’m going to keep
laughing, anyhow.

Broke off my tooth
A couple of days ago I broke off a portion of one of my molars along with some of the filling that was in the tooth. Fortunately, I never felt any pain. In fact, I don’t even know when it actually broke. I’m guessing I must have swallowed it.
Today my terrific dentist, Dr. Bob, fixed it right up quickly, expertly and painlessly! (Novocaine helps.) And now I’m back to normal.
(Keep in mind “normal” is a somewhat relative term which means different things to different people.)
