			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://brentamato.com/images/LaughCase.jpg" alt="Brent Amato - A Time to Laugh" align="left" />Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4a “There is an appointed time for everything.  And there is a time for every event under heaven…a time to weep and a time to laugh…” </p>
<p>Laughter is woven into the fabric of life; may I suggest that it is an ordained part of life as it should be lived.  Who here has not enjoyed a time to laugh?<br />
Now I know what some of you are thinking…</p>
<p>	Just great-I come to church to worship in song and giving and hear God’s Word preached. This is serious business!  And Amato is going to preach on laughing?  Or</p>
<p>	Just great-That Amato, he’s Italian and Italians are always laughing.  But I’m not Italian, so who does he think he’s preaching to? Or</p>
<p>	Just great-That Amato, he’s sanguine and sanguine people are always laughing..  But I’m not sanguine, so who does he think he’s preaching to?  Or</p>
<p>	Just great-That Amato, he’s oblivious to reality.  “When you become an adult, you need to be responsible…and we live in a world of reality which includes difficulties…and therefore, we have no business laughing and enjoying life.” (Swindoll) Everyone knows the old expression: “Life is no laughing matter.” What does Ecclesiastes also say?  “There is a time to weep”, so who does he think he’s preaching to? Or</p>
<p>	Just great-That Amato is going to preach on a topic that finds no place in the serious works of theology.  Who here has ever heard a sermon on laughter? So why is he preaching on it?<br />
Now before you force me to close in prayer, why don’t we start with Scripture?  Do you know what Scripture says about laughter?  </p>
