When Life Gets Absurd

Hello, everyone!

Does life get absurd for you sometimes?

Don’t worry. You’re not alone.

At one time or another, things start to zigzag, and we get a little hitch in our get-along.  😉

Maybe a good belly laugh might help you feel better.

Do you love to laugh?

I sure do, especially those moments when something is so funny, that I almost fall off my chair.

when life gets absurd

Amen to some laughter therapy.

Sign me up!

First and foremost, we must remember that Almighty God is in control. Secondly, and for our own sanity, we need to make time to laugh.

Make Time To Laugh

Laughter can equal joy.

Have you laughed yet today?

Let me see if I can help.

Have you ever seen a Tim Hawkins concert in person?

Hawkins is a Christian comedian, and he’s hilarious.

I’m talking laugh-out-loud funny.

My husband and I saw him perform live, and – no kidding – I was laughing so much that my jaws hurt.

I love that Hawkins finds comedy in the most mundane things of life. His humor reminds me a little bit of Seinfeld, except it’s safe for the whole family.

Besides his hilarious view on life, Hawkins is also a talented singer and guitarist and incorporates musical parodies into his act as well.

Just in case he does not appear in your area, I’ve attached a few of his clips below.

This first one is about moms and the things they said to us as kids.

Men and women couldn’t be more different. Whether it’s how we order food or the things we dream about, sometimes it gets hysterical, right?

I think this is one of his funniest skits.

Tim Hawkins plays to sell-out crowds all over the United States. If you get a chance, check out his website to see if his latest tour is coming to your area.

Sending love and the hope that these clips may have brightened your day!

How About A Christian Vacation?

Help!

I need a vacation!!

Like, right now.

What a day, what a DAY.

(I said that twice on purpose.)

Here’s the thing:

This gal is ready to eat an entire batch of chocolate chip cookies.

Chocolate chip cookies heaven sent

(Please don’t judge me. I have feelings.)

Have you ever had a “Calgon Take Me Away” moment?

C’mon, you know you have.

Perhaps your kids are screaming for attention.

Or, your formerly cute dog is getting comfy on your bed after a romp outside in the mud.

I need a vacation

Maybe it’s your husband asking you sweetly “What’s for dinner?” when you’re bringing in sacks and sacks of groceries.

The thought of getting in your car, driving for hours, and not telling anyone where you’re going isn’t out of the question.

Just Breathe

Take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath

B r e a t h e.

Now, think about what would calm you.

Is it walking on a sandy beach in the Caribbean?

Is it getting cozy by the fire, while the snow falls gently outside?

How about a Christian vacation this time?

Ahhhhhhhhhh, I’m picturing it now.

On everyone’s list of favorite words: VACATION.

Where to Go for Fun and Inspiration

My husband and I are always interested in meeting up with other Christians somewhere fun. Seriously, somewhere FUN!

How does cruising to Alaska sound?

Or setting sail to the Grand Cayman Islands?

Christian Travel Vacations? They’re That Good

Here are some of the highlights of taking a Christian-themed vacation:

    • Just as in your marriage, God is the foundation of every one of these vacations. You will be blessed.
    • The destinations often include performances by well-known Christian bands. You get to sing along with these artists and meet them personally. The “very cool” factor of this experience is off the charts.
    • You also get to hear topical sermons from well-respected pastors along for the trip. For example, you can hear great preaching and personal testimonies from the likes of Chuck Swindoll, Dr. Robert Jeffress, and Skip Heitzig.
    • The whole adventure “feels” like heaven on earth. Fun people from all over the country are getting together to enjoy beautiful scenery, great music, and hear the Word.
    • Depending on where you go, your free time may include snorkeling to your heart’s content. Snorkeling is one of my favorite things to do. Think of a pristine ocean, waves lapping at your ankles, and water every shade of blue. Or, if you head up north, you could catch a glimpse of a mighty whale as you aim your camera lens towards a magnificent glacier in Alaska.
    • Some of the nicest people from all over the country are joining you, and you have the opportunity to form lifelong friendships. Christian travels and tours are unforgettable.
    • You can enjoy all of the beauty and adventures of a popular tourist spot, and yet you don’t feel like a stranger. There’s always someone to talk with and make plans for dinner that evening.

Fun Times With Dear People

The next time you have a “Calgon” moment, I highly recommend that you start planning a trip with fellow Christians.

How about a Christian vacation?Every time our Christian getaway is over and my husband and I head back towards home, my thoughts are when we can go again?

Here’s where you can get information on some future destinations:
