Laugh Again: Experience Outrageous Joy
When was the last time you had a good belly-shaking laugh? That long? OK, when was the last time you chucked? Giggled? Smiled?
In Paul’s letter to the Philippians, he declares that Jesus Christ came to fill our lives with joy. And this authentic, abiding joy—genuine laughter deep within the soul— is available to all, regardless of life’s ups and downs. Would you like to experience outrageous joy—the kind that tingles the soul? Then it’s time to Laugh Again.
