Mr O, do you ever cry?
That’s not the sort of question I am normally asked, but I’m happy to answer it. And the answer is both ‘no’ and ‘yes’.
‘No’ and ‘yes’? Is that one of your provocative answers?
Not this time! I have a medical condition which means that I can’t shed any tears. All the tears I have are in a tube in my pocket and I squirt them in every few hours. That said, I cry quite often. I frequently weep like a child, but without physical tears.
Yet you’re not an emotional person, are you?
Perhaps not visibly. But all humans cry. We all experience pain, heartbreak, and countless sorrows. Christians, however, cry much more than other people; and among Christians it is pastors who cry most of all.
