Job 8:21 "He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting."

Luke 6:21 “Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied.Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh."

Ecclesiastes 3:4 "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance..."

The grief won't end, but laughter helps us endure. Right, Mark? How many times have my brother and I sat together telling hilarious stories about mom and laughed until we cried? Catharsis!

You need a weekly No Kings rally to vent in the right direction. Sign up to host at Indivisible.org. And keep laughing!

Thanks Steve. For the first time in my adult life, I'm trying to focus on - "Whatever is True, Honorable, Just, Pure, Lovely, Gracious, where there be any excellence, where there be anything worthy of Praise - think upon these things" - just like my bride did. Wannabe kings are none of the above.
