  I’d like to dedicate this book to my wife Joanna, who I found out is better at coming up with kids’ jokes than I am!

  And to

  Joshua Bay, Emma Ruth, Leah Rose, and Anna Beth

  I want to dedicate this joke book to you because you are some of the greatest joys and blessings that God has given me this side of heaven. I know I’ve laughed more and smiled more in the years that you’ve been a part of my life than ever before, so here is a little something to return the favor. Children really are a blessing from the Lord (Psalm 127:3) and I’ve been blessed beyond what I deserve or ever imagined.
