Side Splitters

Have you ever laughed so hard that your sides actually ache?
I have.

There are some people who are so ‘free’ that they can do anything or say anything ridiculous and absurd ....and get away with it...
My Aunt Hattie was one of those people. Her sister, Aunt Callie, is also.... one of those ....but Aunt Callie doesn’t ’clown’ as a rule .....her ’side splitters’ are in dead-pan serious humor. She is hilarious with some of her ’in earnest deliveries’ of insane humor.
What a delight to be with someone like that:)
Our pastor, Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne, is another side splitter clown.
He uses his absurd humor to make a point....
Just this past Sunday he was speaking about self-righteousness in the Church instead of “God-righteousness”.
His answer to this problem was true Scripture, which he says would produce a ’spiritual enema’ in order to clean out the system of ’useless crap’ that gets in the way of ’being free’. His face features left no doubt to the point he was making. We were all ’cracked up’ with laughing since we have had experience with such people and churches. Or better yet, needed this therapy for our good!

Laughter is a great ’enema’ for the soul.
Silliness can be such fun and produce a lighter heart and mind.
......I have found that a person must be very ’’healthy minded’ in order to be so ’free’. They know and do not care if they appear.... Ridiculous....for you see they are ’having fun’ while living the “Good Life”!

***You grow up the day you have your first real laugh - - -
