Laughter Is Good Medicine

Ray Evans • January 4, 2020
I love what Michael Pritchard said,

“You don't stop laughing because you grow old.  You grow old because you stop laughing.”

I guess I need to laugh more...I spend more time at the doctor's now than ever before.

There are those who say visiting a doctor is a lack of faith...I'm not one of them.

I believe God can heal...my brother is a cancer survivor; but I also believe God gave us doctors for the same reason he gave us divorce...for the hardness of our hearts.

I'm not a student of "natural" remedies; but I have a few books on the subject and it seems like almost every ailment has a corresponding remedy in plants.

A lot of the manufactured pills, capsules and drugs we consume, have their origin in nature.  For instance, did you know that "aspirin" comes from the bark of the Willow tree?

I'm not a fan of synthetic drugs and I have embarked on a journey to rid myself of all synthetic drugs and even supplements.

I'm a big believer that God's Way, Works, so I'm making some lifestyle changes.  I've gone "Low-Carb," essentially more vegetables and lean proteins.  I cut out the "junk food."  I also cut out all sugar (as much as possible) since I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.

I'm happy to report that I have lost 25 lbs and my A1C has plummeted to the point where I no longer need any drugs to manage the diabetes.

I'm not suggesting that you stop taking your meds...I made lifestyle changes in diet and exercise that allowed me to kick the drugs with approval from my doctor. 

What about the "Merry Heart?"

A "Merry Heart" reduces "stress;" which reduces the amount of cortisol; which lowers the risk of heart disease; which is the number one cause of death in the U.S.

Everyday you can choose to be happy or sad...choose happy.  Laughter is good medicine and will do wonders for you and everyone around you.

Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth

Believing in the "Rapture" relieves you of the responsibility to do anything except believe in Jesus...who will magically whisk you away to heaven. It's a lie, designed to keep you from preparing or being prepared for what's coming.
Job 32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

A lot of well-known and well-respected preachers talk about how long they have been preaching, as if the longer one preaches the more qualified one is to preach.
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom

This may seem a strange question, but it never ceases to amaze me how few people allow God to play an active role in their daily lives. Why anyone would not want the creator of the universe to help them every second, every minute and every hour of every day, is simply beyond me.
Psalms 15:1 Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy holy hill?
By Ray Evans May 6, 2020
The question in Psalms 15, "Lord, who shall abide in thy tabernacle?" probably has as many answers as there are preachers, but they all stem from a common belief: "Everyone who believes in Jesus goes to heaven." Sounds great, but is it true?
