‘Humour is a necessary part of the human condition’

Hope Bonarcher highlights the huge positive impact laughter can have in any situation 

The last three months have been a rollercoaster. From home renovations and last-minute relocations, to the general stressors of raising children in various stages of development. From the financial precariousness of being a two-freelancer parent household, to the death of a dearly beloved one. From health issues, to marital discord, to hardships in the lives of friends…And these are just the personal issues; not to mention political and social instability, natural disasters overseas and international insecurities. Testing and trials are common to everyone – sometimes even in one short season. In the midst of all that has been going on, God has been teaching me the necessity of one integral piece of the pie of life, which I wasn’t expecting: comedy.
