Throwing a Bigger Brick

I was speaking in Duck Dynasty Land last year and told this radio story to a church congregation. They roared with laughter. A seventy-five-year-old lady came up to thank me for my comments afterward. She said, “We haven’t laughed like that in this church for twenty-five years!”

Then a thirty-year-old guy came up and said, “Mark, you know you can throw a bigger brick if it’s wrapped in humor.” Here was a young man who got it. My sentiments exactly.

Here are a couple of quotes from one of my heroes who evidently thinks like I do:

If you’re not enjoying most of your day, if you’ve stopped having fun, you’re missing more than you are contributing.6

How is your sense of humor? Are the times in which we live beginning to be reflected in your attitude, your face, and your outlook? Solomon says three things will occur when we have lost our sense of humor: a broken spirit, a lack of inner healing, and dried-up bones (Proverbs 15:13, 15; 17:22). What a barren portrait! Humor is not a sin. It is a God-given escape hatch, a safety valve. Being able to see the lighter side of life is a rare, vital virtue. (SWINDOLL, 220)7
