Into the Fire

I happen to do a fair amount of each, although I confess lately I lean toward more of the crying than laughing. The world right now is a sad and ugly mess, and sometimes the circumstances of all earthly endeavors crush against my heart. As a Christian, I recognize who to seek for refuge and how to use the weeping in prayer for all the many needs of others.

I love to laugh, but it's been difficult to find funny things. I'll keep looking and listening because I would love to laugh until my stomach hurts.  

Father, you bring joy, laughter, hope, and promise. Thank you for being my refuge and strong tower. I'm always desperate for you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
