Where it is True that God wants us to be serious about doing His work, Here is proof that He really does want us to be able to enjoy our short time here on earth. There is a time and a place for everything.
Thank you, Jon, for your perspective.

Ecclesiastes 3:1, 4
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
4 … a time to laugh….
I often say God has a sense of humour. He made us, after all, and we’re rather silly creatures sometimes. But some people think humour is frivolous and inappropriate, especially when speaking of the things of the Lord. Certainly, it can be used wrongly, but I’d like to look at some examples of humour in Scripture to show that this is a tool that God Himself uses, and it is certainly fitting for us to use as well.
There are many plays on words in the original languages of the Scripture, and this is probably the most frequent use of humour. But little of that survives in translation, so I’ll focus on those things that we can see in the English.
