laughing

This simple cartoon by NakedPastor reminded me of the time I was sitting at my friend Randy Clark's church in St. Louis in the mid-80's. David Ruis was speaking. It wasn't so interesting. Nothing funny was happening. I hadn't been drinking. But suddenly I fell out of my seat onto the floor laughing.

I couldn't stop. I didn't want to do that (no one else was). It was if someone was tickling me and I couldn't resist. I somehow knew it was God. I asked Him to stop. I was laughing so hard tears were in my ears, my side was hurting, etc.. I asked Him again and again.

He said, "No - you need to lighten up and I won't stop until you really agree."

I did.
