What! I didn't know you had this whole site! I've got some poking around to do it seems.
I thought this snippet was particularly insightful: "Yet I know that deep down it was a shield in my childhood. A partner in my youth, and an escape as an adult. So, am I humorous or is my humor me? It doesn’t really matter at this point, but I wish I could have been better equipped to see in the early days so I could have molded my use of gifts rather than being used by them."
It sounds like humor definitely a superpower for you, but no doubt it always helps to know your own strength(s) (or where it's appropriate to use them). Quite a mix of figuring out the powers you don't know you have AND cultivating deep awareness of the ones you do.
I meant to comment last week. Love this so much! Here’s something I wrote last year about humor. https://jamestippins.com/2022/10/antics-as-comedy-they-hide-me/
Thanks James!

This is great Jordan! "Immunity to Hardening of the Heart," is such a beautiful phrase! I appreciate the reminder this offers.
Thanks Brian!
