Let me make it very clear right up front that I am in favor of as many “ha ha moments” as possible. I could not get through a week without my daily dose. I firmly believe that laughter is the appropriate medicine for the soul. Some people, according to th

began to laugh. The table next to them began to laugh. It was not long 
before everybody within 173 miles was laughing at my ice cream/broccoli

Actually, not everybody was laughing. I was not laughing. Broccoli, no
matter the presentation, is no laughing matter in my book. 

If matters could not be worse, my wife, through her hilarity spasms,
reached over, picked up the broccoli and began eating it in my 
presence. Talk about adding insult to injury, my injury was vastly 
insulted. 

I may have been smiling on the outside, but I assure you I was more than
frowning on the inside. Some things are funny; broccoli is not one of 
those things. 

Driving home amid the muffled chuckles on the other side of the front
seat, I thought of what the apostle Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 
5:16-18 (KJV), “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing 
give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning 
you.” 

I know that when Paul said, “In every thing,” it included things like
broccoli. I must say that there are some things in life, like broccoli, 
where the thanksgiving is a matter of faith. I will never learn to love 
broccoli, but I can muster up enough faith to thank God for all things, 
including broccoli.
