a bit of my story

laughing pastor: Conroe, Texas, United States; My grandmother taught me the art of laughter. She also taught me to be honest about life. Along the way as I share the ups and downs of my journey I consistently bump into laughter. Laughter is a many sided gift of which humor is only one aspect. I believe laughter is like prayer....with faith and hope there is always space for laughter. We laugh....for the last word will be justice and liberation and goodness!

faith and life

faith is an integral part of my life. every aspect of life holds a dose of faith.

Bishop Desmund Tutu

There are so many good people and so many beautiful things, and I want to be able to luxuriate in contemplating the goodness, the beauty, the laughter and the courage that is in the world.

ee cummings

the most wasted of all days is one without laughter.

Mark Twain:

"The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter."

Ricardo Levins Morales:

"Laughter is the sound of hope - Hope is the seed of power - Power is the combined force of a multitude of voices joined together...that began as a mere whisper, lost in the immense darkness and the ferocious cold and only kept alive by small improbable notes of laughter."

Anne Lamott:

“Laughter is carbonated holiness, It is effervescent, full of fizz.

A smile, a grin, or full-bodied laughter is such a gift in our super-serious world. It reminds us of friendship, of joy, of playfulness. And, it’s contagious."

Karl Barth:

"Laughter is the closest thing to the grace of God."

Francois Fenelon:

"And the selfsame well from which laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears."

Johann Kaspar Lavater:

"To jealousy, nothing is more frightful than laughter."

Victor Borge:

"Laughter is the closest distance between two people."
