Life has many paths presented to us at various times. Based on the information we have at that time, a path is chosen, and with that choice comes the outcome. Some outcomes are positive. Others are, well, let us call them "learning opportunities." And This Is Why We Laugh is the story of a journey down various paths that all converged at one point in time. The focus of the book is not the individuals who were part of the journey. Rather, the central theme is God's love, which He displays through the person of Yahshua-Jesus Christ. Every choice has a corresponding action. We must decide to make choices that align with God's word even when other paths look more appealing. This book has lessons on self-control (a word we really do not like to hear), perseverance, hope, and overcoming challenges. As you read biblical truths, my prayer is that you will learn to filter your choices through God's eyes. God desires for us to choose His path, which leads to life, prosperity, joy, and peace. There are times in life when we make choices, and then there are times when we experience the outcome of another person's choice. For example, a person driving a car does not stop at a traffic signal. The driver hits another car. The driver of the hit car will experience the outcome of the initial driver's choice. The driver of the hit car cannot control the original action, but he can control his response to the situation. No matter the circumstances in which we find ourselves, Jesus is our way of escape. He is our helper and life tour guide. As you read this book, the truth of who God really is will help to illuminate Jesus's love for you. He has a wonderful plan for your life. In the middle of adversity, you can always laugh because if you choose Yahshua-Jesus Christ, you will win.
