My goal in writing is to share with readers passages in Scripture that I find amusing. I will tell or retell these stories with the hope of demonstrating their humour and practical 'life lessons' that can be drawn from them. We find things humorous which we recognize as common experiences or foibles. The biblical characters stand in for us at our most foolish. We are amused because we see our common humanity and we smile at the things which are not funny when pointed out in ourselves. I trust that you will laugh, along with me, but also that we can learn, grow, and even repent together as the 'funny' becomes a mirror into our own lives.

He went on to pioneer Street Hope Saint John. In his last years as an active Threshold Evangelist Reed founded Threshold House, a sober living Christian discipleship community. Reed uses his misspent early days and later misadventures, as a source of humourist inspiration, He is a firm believer that "A merry heart does good like a medicine." Proverbs 17: 22 .
