I wish I would have learned this sooner!
I know I already posted today, but I just read a wonderful piece that I wanted to share with you. You can read it here:

It is an article about how to maintain a happy marriage is to learn how to laugh more, to turn your anger into laughter. This is really hard for us to imagine, but sounds incredible!
I thought I would share it with you because, while this talks about a marriage situation, I think we could use this advice for our church “family.” Too often, I think, those little, random things that go on here only lead to boiled blood, hurt feelings, and a lot of anger. But if we keep perspective, and remember that whenever people try to share space, there will always be silly, random things that happen. And none of those silly, random things are worth all the pain that comes out of getting angry. And laughter (gut-shaking, side-splitting, whole body laughter), I’ve been told, is the best medicine.
May God bless us all with more humor in our lives, because this life is too crazy to take it seriously!
