When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried? When was the last time you saw a good Christian comedy that really got you roaring?
Herman Melville said, “A good laugh is a mighty good thing, a rather too scarce a good thing.” There isn’t a single person who would say they don’t want to laugh more.
