Jack’s Winning Words  (11/14/22)

“Carl’s so smart that he can Hula Hoop a Cheerio.”  (Andrew Rudd)  An analogy is a comparison between two things to make a truth more understandable, often in a humorous way.  Can you imagine hula hooping a Cheerio?  A high school student wrote this analogy: “Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze”.  Even Jesus used analogies, e.g. “Can a camel go through the eye of a needle?”  I believe that Jesus was like ordinary people, including having a sense of humor.   Somewhere in the back of my mind I recall seeing a picture of a laughing Jesus on a package of toilet paper.  Humor can help make our daily lives more enjoyable. Is there anything in religion that has made you laugh? ;-)  Jack
