My jaw is sore.

It is a result of last night.

It is not aching from being punched, but from laughing. I had an evening that combined three of my favourite things. I went with a friend to see John Archer perform his wonderful comedy magic at a church in Southend. Friendship, magic, and faith all combined in one hilarious evening.

Wonderful.

Today’s bloggage may not be the longest ever but I hope it is illustrative of some of my firmly-held beliefs:

• my Christian faith permeates and is relevant to every area of my life – there are no areas it does not touch and should not touch.
• it is good to laugh – especially in church.
• an experience (good or bad) shared with friends (and family) is an experience enhanced.
• Jesus loves it when we enjoy ourselves, he told funny stories after all, and God gave us the gift of laughter.

Be blessed, be a blessing.
