There will be more to follow about this...but this is all I can do right now.
'Tears -
You never know what may cause them. The sight of the Atlantic Ocean can do it, or a piece of music, or a face you've never seen before. A pair of somebody's old shoes can do it....a highschool basketball team running out onto the gym floor at the start of a game. You can never be sure.
But of this you can be sure.
Whenever you find tears in your eyes, especially unexpected tears, it is well to pay the closest attention.
They are not only telling you something about the secret of who you are, but more often than not God is speaking to you through them in the mystery of where you have come from and is summoning you to where, if your soul is to be saved, you should go next'.

I love getting to read all the fascinating things on your blog. the green thing in the picture is my lava lamp.
Frederick Buechner. Good stuff. I especially like the idea that there is mystery to be found in tears. The things we dismiss as involuntary biological functions are really the Lord's way of imparting grace upon a weary souls, you know.
