I’m really grateful for all of you who take a peek at the JC’s Village blog now and again and see what we’ve been talking about. The blog posts generally run parallel to our conversations during our Wednesday night discussions or themes that we’re working to learn as we grow.

The Monday Funday posts are a little different though. I post things I genuinely find funny because laughter - is just such a great great gift and I’m so grateful that God gave us humor. Imagine His sense of humor!!

When trouble rolls my way I pray, and ask Jesus what to do. If it’s a real hum-dinger, I might even journal a bit, meditate, go for a walk, call a friend (or two or three) … but humor often helps too.

Wanna know something? I text funnies to the members of JC’s on Fridays - the students get “Friday Funday” and on Mondays I text them encouragements - usually in the form of Scriptures that I’ve recently read through in my own quiet times and found to be uplifting, reaffirming and all-around encouraging. That means that the students get two “Fundays” per week.

Wanna know something else? I look at funnies every day. Yep. I give myself a Funday every day. I spend time with Jesus Every. Single. Day. Praying, meditating, reading scripture, and more. First meal of the day usually. But nearly every day I end with a laugh. I don’t “have to”. I just like to. I love to laugh. I love to picture Jesus laughing before crawling into bed.
