Christmas party for the OLM Scheme


The 1st party of the season! No pictures, sadly - I forgot the camera. But a good time was had by all the ordinands, staff and members of the Advisory Body. High hilarity over the past and present dancing exploits of one of the 2nd year ordinands, and of the Principal - but discretion requires my absolute silence on the matter! David's dry and droll sense of humour had some of us almost rolling in the aisles. (David is shown above, with Pam, and with the whole group).

Humour is such an important part of being human; it's a shame when it's cruel or prejudicial, or thoughtlessly undermining of someone else. But to see the funny side of life is to look at it with the eyes of a child, in a relaxed way which welcomes incongruity and sees it as having the potential for mirth and merriment. A good laugh always lightens my day.

It makes me wonder what God finds the funniest: our exploits, our appearance and physicality, or our inability to get the jokes he sends our way?
