    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more
