Football, Hand Raising, & Worship

Whew! It's been one crazy summer! I've been extremely busy at work lately and have seriously neglected my blog! Shame on me! It's time for my own "joybreak!" With all of the stress I've been under I decided to take my medicine (remember "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine…"). The prescription: good clean humor! I got lost in several clips from one of my favorite comedians tonight, Tim Hawkins. However, I couldn't decide which clip to show, soooo I'm going with the ones that popped out at me tonight. A couple of the clips have to do with church life. Yes, church can be funny, or more correctly some of the things we do at church can be funny. Christians seem to have a reputation for being too stuffy or serious, but that's not necessarily the case. Yes, sometimes people just need to lighten up, but that is the case with human beings in general. We all need to be able to laugh at ourselves. It helps us cope with situations and with others, and it sure makes life a lot more fun! There is one clip that is featured here where Tim talks about football. Being that it's football season (and I have to put up with several friends rooting their teams on) I thought it was appropriate. Plus, I like his suggestion towards the end of the clip on marriage and incorporating one aspect of football into it (you'll just have to watch it to see what I'm talking about ;-D). The clips are a little rough because they were taken by audience members, but they're still funny. Enjoy your joybreak!
