| April Fool’s Day |
A lot of bloggers will be posting some sort of gag today, hoping to catch you unaware and make a fool of you — hence the title “April Fool’s Day.” There will be none of that frivolous nonsense here. I know, in the past I have been guilty of flippant humor here on this blog. I repent of that idle foolishness today.
I know that you, my readers, live serious lives in a serious world and have no time to read the vain jesting of some wise-cracking, glib smart-aleck. You need sober truth for the edification of your minds. Humor has no place in the conversation of mature Christians. We face grave issues today. We must remain sober. I hope, from this point forward, to refrain from resorting to the trivialities that have so often marked me previously.
Please pray for me as I seek to become more sober-minded, and that we may be mutually edified in our pursuit of a solemn, thoughtful demeanor.

when I hear a Christian talk like this, it makes me think of the scene on Monty Python's The Holy Grail where the guys are chanting and hitting themselves with boards. While I don't think it proper to become an absolute lying moron just because it is April 1, I think that as Christians, we have to have a sense of humor. I know how it all is going to end and I am happy that I am on the right side. We as Christians should rejoice in this, and if we are too "solemn", we put ourselves on the outside of helping any of the lost, therefore denying the great commission. how can we reach people if we constantly wallow in how wrong everything is today?

There's something, a catch, here, somewhere. I guess it will sneak up on me later. And then I'll say, "Ah, he got me!"

You're right David! I agree 100%!

I thought you would, Steve.
I was going to sneak into your room at T4G and short-sheet your bed, but I’ve been convicted of my sinful scheming. Besides, I see there’s a whole gang of you coming, and I don’t want to get beat up.

I'm bringing a rubber nose to BoB specifically for you, Thirsty. Especially after reading this post.

I sense my sincerity being called into question. That hurts.
