Jesus Christ is risen. Alleluia!
Tonight my friend Richard led a service of holy laughter, in the manner of Greek Orthodox Christians who have celebrated Easter through festivities and telling jokes. This is all to reflect the ultimate joke God played on the devil by raising Jesus from the dead. It felt so refreshing to laugh in the service--and to remember the goodness of humor. Praise God.
Here are a few jokes I can remember from the service:
Q: Who was the most successful female financier in the Bible?
A: Pharaoh's daughter. She entered the bank of the Nile and came out with a little prophet.
Q: How do we know God is left handed?
A: Because Jesus sat on God's right hand.
Q: What kind of a man was Boaz before he married?
A: Ruthless.
