Pretty Funny Sermon Intro...

Folks I know and trust have told me this was one of my funniest openers of any sermon I've ever given. Now, I'm not all about the funnies, but I do think that church should be a place to laugh. Joy isn't just a dishwashing detergent: it's a fruit of the Spirit, people.

Special thanks to Nick Swardson, a comedian whose insights into life with his grandmother started me thinking about all this stuff. And extra special thansk to Nicole's family, a cast of zany characters who inspired these stories. If you're having a bad day, I hope the first two tracks of this message make you laugh.
