There was much hilarity in the house tonight as we sat around the table with Joy Norwood, Shelley Hamann, and Jamie and Melinda Johnson. It's been awhile since I've seen Evelyn laugh so hard, usually at the outrageous things Joy was saying, sometimes at Melinda's reaction to the outrageous things Joy was saying!
We'd been intending on having this foursome some Saturday night for weeks, probably months. When we learned that Joy and Shelley had had a house fire that will keep them in the Residence Inn for weeks, we knew we didn't want to wait any longer.
Maybe one reason the laughter is so sweet is the foundation underneath it--years of relationship and a shared love for God. We talked about problems a-plenty, to be sure, including a consensus, "Thank God for the church. Where would we be if we weren't Christians?"
I'm not sure where we'd be, but I know we wouldn't have as much laughter!
