I miss the old days of going out to get free candy. Who says we can’t go anymore?

So…Uh…Listen…
We all know that farts are hilarious. In fact, they are one of my favorite past times. At the age of 23, I am still amused by the sounds that are created during the process of farting. It will never grow old. Some people say that it is rude and immature. Others say it is disgusting. Yes it is rude, immature, and perhaps disgusting, but it never ceases to make people laugh. No matter my mood, a fart can make me smile. Sometimes the funniest farts are those fabricated in inappropriate places. Which leads me to this….
Wednesday, I was preaching at the youth group at New Life as I do every Wednesday night. However, during my message one of our youngest students decided to let a fart go mid-sentence. Although it was funny, I was able hold in my laugh…barely. Only by God’s power was I able to hold in that laugh. Because I know for a fact that if I had laughed during the message there is no way I would have been able to get their attention back for the rest of the night. BUT, then there was the closing prayer…when…he farted again. This time I struggled, I mean severely struggled to hold it in. I had my head down and started smiling during the prayer and this was a serious prayer. As most prayers are. It got to the point where my voice started to weaken because I wanted to laugh so bad. I am pretty sure that I could have peed myself. I was cracking up on the inside. Afterwards, I thought to myself, “why was that so funny?”
When I met Jenny for dinner at Steak and Shake, I realized that I had yet to tell anyone about this or talk about it. So, I told this story to my wife in Steak and Shake and proceeded to completely lose it and couldn’t get the story out. And as a 23-year-old man, I found myself laughing about farts once again. I remember having a conversation in high school with a friend and expressing that I think I could be 98 years old, on my death bed, and laugh about a fart. Even if I did not know anyone anymore, I could still laugh at a fart.
Moral of the story…
Laugh about farts…God made them loud for a reason!!
