I'm secure enough in my manhood to be comfortable with crying. As a teenager I tried not to cry..."man up"... But emotions are a powerful thing, God given for a reason. He gave us laughter and he gave us tears.
Non-death-related reasons I've cried;
Senior year, trying to win the long jump in a dual meet against our biggest track and field rival. I trained like I had never trained before for that meet, went into it super pumped, and then proceeded to toe the line three straight times and fault out. As I made my way into the middle of the infield, all of the emotion that I had put into getting myself up came out in uncontrollable tears.
I cried in the delivery room with all of my biological children. The miracle of Life is just incredible to me.
I've shed tears in times of great frustration, especially involving family or spouse related issues.
I've cried at times just watching our adopted children play, realizing what their end could have been had "choices" been made differently.
Many times I have lost it when I thought about God's great love, and the sacrifice that Jesus made for me... And the things that I did to put him there.
And I've even cried for movies and songs that have touched me. And yes, Coco on more than one occasion!
Yeah, to me crying is a good thing. Much better than restraining our emotions.
