    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 15,121 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

Hagar conceived and bore Ishmael to Abram; ...read more

    Fifth in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham
