goofyness and the Trinity

i've been thinking a bit about silliness, trying to dig some into why we enjoy being goofy from time to time. let me just say first that it's a good thing Christ knows the human flesh. He knows the feeling of laughter, and i've got to say even the gut-wrenching kind, because God was the one who invented it in the first place. and whether or not Jesus entertained the goofiness of children or clicked his heels in a jig or two, we don't know. but i do know this: we have joy because of the loving and playful union of the Trinity, the birth of our perfect Lamb, the resurrection to life and power of our Lord Jesus Christ. and we have the freedom to live in this joy, our consciences unburdened by the guilt of sin. thus we live, free to glorify our Creator even in great laughter and occassional moments of silliness. this is unique to our God.

our advent calendar told us to take goofy pictures. and so we did.
