and a time to laugh

Last dregs of conversation prior to sleep, and often what results are random speculations. But who's to say random speculations are worse off than purposeful thought? In either case, mused on whether or not God has a sense of humor.

Con thoughts: It's ridiculous to assign human attributes to God, who is nothing like man. Why think that His sense of humor is anything remotely like our sense of humor? God has better things to do than to sit around and laugh. He's more concerned with the sadness He feels from lost souls.

Pro thoughts: We are made in His image. The Lord was once man, thus being fully human, He also would have had a sense of humor. Why create us with a sense of humor if He also did not have a sense of humor? Plenty of stories in the Word make one laugh. Laughter is a natural outpouring of joy, and we know the Lord is all about joy.

Concordance: It just occurred to me that I could simply look it up, and lo and behold, the Psalms discuss His laughter (2 and 37 to name just two). Suppose that was easier than senseless meanderings of thought.
