We go way back...!


What if God was singing over you?


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.)
