Comedy

“God writes a lot of comedy... the trouble is, he's stuck with so many bad actors who don't know how to play funny.” - Garrison Keillor

I find Garrison Keillor pretty funny.  Maybe it's because I now live in Minnesota and can relate to a lot of what he says when talking about "Lake Wobegon".  If you don't know, Garrison Keillor hosts a show a show on public radio called "A Prairie Home Companion".  It's an old fashioned radio show and pretty darn funny. 

Anyway, I like this quote.  It hits home that's for sure.  God does write comedy, also joy, happiness, and love into our lives.  The problem is at times I try to play the director and the actor.  I can't be the director and participate on stage in my life.  When I am on stage, I fail to see the big picture God has in store for me if I'm set on directing myself and those around me.  I can't see what is coming from stage left or right.  If I want this "comedy" to turn out for the glory of God, I must remain the actress, not the director.  God has the big picture in mind, I just have to turn over my own self to become the actress needed to do God's will.
