Fun God

If fun is joy and love and happiness,
then heaven is the greatest fun of all,
if fun’s excitement, pleasure and success,
then God’s the answer to fun’s siren call.

Fun is not entertainment--that’s too passive,
we put ourselves in fun--it must be active,
God’s store of fun--in heaven and here--is massive,
for God is love--what makes Him so attractive.

St. Theresa said just going to heaven is heaven,*
--why nuns were found to be the happiest,**
such joy in having all our sins forgiven,
and loving God and knowing we are blest.

The fun in doing bad is transitory,
true fun’s to help someone for greater glory.

* St. Theresa of Avila
** A survey showed nuns to be the happiest
of all professions--about 90% of them.
