Giggles for Jesus : P

Last night we had our Monday night study, but we didn't really have a topic to focus on. There were some random "hypothetical" situations that came up ;) but nothing too serious like topics we've done before like:

-Are we really loving someone if we aren't helping them grow
-- How do you avoid judgment when trying to help someone?

-Homosexuality: clergy and just in general and what the bible says about it

-Sex before marriage: Where does it really say that we shouldn't?

-Are different translations of the bible "picking and choosing" what you want to believe?
-- How are we supposed to know the "truth" from the bible when people can translate it different ways

-What does it mean to love?
-- Are we allowed to take a break from someone who constantly hurts us or isn't good to us, or are we supposed to continually love...
--- What does it look like to love ourselves first to help others?

Anyway, the point is, we talk a lot, we question, we dive in...

But last night, we just gathered. We chatted, laughed (snorted), hung out, sipped coffee, and just sat in a small community of 7 I believe...

I was thinking to myself (since I lead the study with Laura) "did we waste the precious time of other people" ... But after I thought it, I immediately wanted to slap myself. How could being in community with one another, to just laugh and smile and "detox" be a waste of time? I was reading everyone in the circle, and everyone seemed fine with it, and I know it especially helped one person in particular...

So I guess my conclusion is, we should all take some time in our days to just "giggle for Jesus". I mean we've all been so blessed (some of us "more" than others) so why not celebrate and laugh a little...

I had an incredible evening last night (until I hurt myself!! haha) and even though we didn't really "dive into" a study, we dove into laughing with one another and enjoying the community we were in. I don't see anything wrong with that ;) !!!!
