"Funny" Questions

Some questions have been running through my head lately.

One of them is about the belly button. When we were born, our umbilical cords were cut. Our business used to be excreted via the umbilical cord, so why did it stop coming out of our belly buttons after some time? And if it stopped coming out of our belly buttons because it was coming out of our butts, why did it not come out of our butts when we were in the womb? Was it because of the water pressure in the womb holding it in?

It's funny to think about such questions because you realise how much you don't know even though you're a university graduate and a science student. Or perhaps you just realise how amazing God is, how everything is engineered to His design, even the funniest of things.

I remember the first time I realised He has a sense of humour. It was when I was reading
this about Him talking about an almond tree and punning on the word "almond", which sounds like "watch", to tell Jeremiah that He was watching to see that His word was fulfilled. And can you imagine Him rejoicing over you with singing? Not some quiet lullabye song, mind you, but the rejoicing of the laughing, dancing kind.

Thank You that You laugh over me. Thank You for your sense of humour and for all the answers to my questions, even the unanswered questions. With You by my side, I can never be lonely.
