Exercise forgiveness for yourself and others

Heal emotionally, physically, and spiritually
Keep your faith when God is silent
Live with elegance, beauty, and generosity of spirit
Whatever your faith tradition or if you have none at all join this veteran of the punch line and the pulpit in reclaiming the forgotten humor legacy found in thousands of years of human spiritual history.
