Come Hear Our New Organist!
Some statements tickle our funny bones and are unforgettable, like the church notice I just quoted. People are always saying and writing dumb statements that make for good comedy. For example, late night comedian Jay Leno has a section of his show devoted to “Headlines.” He recounts, among other bits of news, the combined last names of couples who have just married. I can’t think of any hilarious combinations at the moment, but I remember laughing heartily at some of them.
Laughing is good for us. It lightens our mood and actually, can lower blood pressure. The world will always be full of tragedy. Often, we don’t have to look beyond our own families and friends to see trouble. However, if you look for humor in unexpected places, you will surely find it. Those are my grandmotherly words for today. Smile, laugh, be happy!

It’s a Dog’s Life.
