Guest Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I had been criticizing the United Church of Canada for taking that song out of their hymnal! Everything is relative it seems. Quote
Administrators Naomi Posted December 11, 2015 Administrators Posted December 11, 2015 I failed to notice the Barley Adventist in the link .... Not being a fan of satire I fail to see the humor in making fun of ourselves. .....sorry Quote If your dreams are not big enough to scare you, they are not big enough for God
JoeMo Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I think it's great when we are confident enough in our faith to have some light-hearted fun with ourselves. Besides, as a Guest has pointed out, sometimes humor is anchored in reality. Quote
Members phkrause Posted December 12, 2015 Members Posted December 12, 2015 That's one of my favorite hymns! Naomi 1 Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted December 12, 2015 Author Moderators Posted December 12, 2015 Naomi: It is a sign of mental health when one can laugh at themselves. We humans are quite complex and often mixed up and inconsistent. To be able to laugh at ourselves is good for us and is shows we are willing to take a look at how we may come across to the world at large. it is much different from laughing at another person. aka 1 Quote Gregory
