Filmmaking 101

Camping part 1

We went camping, we went fishing, we went to the lake, we went home tired.   And film making is back in full swing now at our house!  Here are some pictures of camping, with more to come!

Fishing and Smiles

Repost from Jon Acuff

Yes, humor should matter to Christians, but why?

Why should laughter and humor have a place within faith?

It hasn’t always. I’ve never heard an atheist say, “I’m not a Christian, but wow, do they have a great sense of humor!” (If you have ever heard that, please let me know so that I can mail you a box of Thin Mints.)

That said, there are a lot of funny Christians doing funny things right now and maybe the tide is turning.

But again, why?Why does laughter matter in faith?

The answer, funny enough, is in the Bible.
In Psalm 126:2 it says:
Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”

Then.
Then.
Then.

That’s the most powerful word in that verse. The laughter was not just some frivolous thing. The laughter was not folly. It was was not jest.

It was a sign that the Lord has done great things for them.

In all our failing about to show people the goodness of God, I fear sometimes we’ve lost the simplest way.
To laugh. To be overjoyed. To be full of mirth.

Should humor matter to Christians?
It mattered to God, and that’s good enough for me.
