Humour in ministry

  • Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves; they will have no end of fun.
  • Blessed are those who can tell a mountain from a molehill; they will be saved a lot of bother.
  • Blessed are those who know how to relax without looking for excuses; they are on their way to becoming wise.
  • Blessed are those who are sane enough not to take themselves too seriously; they will be valued most by those about them.
