Laughing Could Be Dangerous to My Health

   We have been up in the North Georgia mountains these last couple of days with some friends from California. It has been a time of remembering things from days gone by, and having fun in fellowship with folks that we like to be with.

   A lot of stories have made the rounds, and we have laughed over incidents that we both remember; well, at least, as we remember them. They may change over time, but they still make us smile.

   Fun, food and fellowship...Life is good.

   As I read the Scripture passage this morning, one quite incidental thought came out in my mind. Here is the passage:

   “Go away, for the girl is not dead but sleeping.” And they laughed at him.

   I can imagine Jesus actually laughing with his disciples over some small thing, having a bit of fun, and so the actual act of mirth could not be out of character for even the Son of God.

   But there can be a time when laughing could be dangerous to my health.

   Laughing at what Jesus says, be careful.
