I was talking with a man this morning who asked me what the preacher would preach about on Sunday. I told him it would undoubtedlly, "be about sin. He's against it, you know."
Now that's an old saw, but he begin to laugh, softly at first, then louder. I wasn't sure what his laught meant. Was he laughing because so few people are against sin? Was it because someone would have the courage to say so? Or was it because we have reached the place in our society where sin is a laughing matter?

Or perhaps it's because understatement has great potential for comedy, and you caught that guy at the right time!
John,
I wish I could catch everyone "at the right time." Someone said, a hearty laugh is a mini-vacation. We could all use a little more vacation, right?
You got that right!
