God must cry
Someone asked me, “What’s the deal with your blog’s name?”
1. Most people assume religion is either sad or angry. When I read the Bible, especially the stories of Jesus, I see so much laughter there that most Christians seem to miss because they’ve got holy blinders on.
2. When I look at the world, I see too much beauty and creativity. If God did make it all, then he could’ve made it all boring and samey (tofu!) but chose to make it like this.
3. My favorite kind of humor is big man/little man stuff. God “must” is kind of a joke in itself, especially when we mean it.
But some days, for whatever reason, I’m not laughing. Today is one of those. I read a bit out of Hosea and Micah and it’s like looking in a mirror. We take so much, and turn it into so little.
I’m certain of nothing, but as sure as I am that God must laugh, that’s how sure I am that God must cry.
