Yesterday\u2019s April Fool\u2019s cartoon\u00a0Rob Bell Marries David Hayward<\/a>\u00a0was a successful attempt to give people permission to laugh in the light of Easter. Today\u2019s cartoon is an attempt to give people permission to cry.<\/p>\n

The shortest verse, and the most poignant in my opinion, is John 11: 35\u2026<\/p>\n

Jesus wept.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He lost a friend. His friends were upset and beside themselves. Death was staring them down.<\/p>\n

As the cartoon suggests, crying is healthy. Sorrow is necessary. Grieving is natural. You can\u2019t have happy without sad.<\/p>\n

One of the most important things I do is provide space for people to feel. To just feel. To feel what they\u2019re feeling. With no time constraints or behavioral expectations. And I am fiercely protective of these sacred spaces<\/a>. This is how sadness gets processed in the most healthy way. We let the tears flow through us rather than dam up within us. Haven\u2019t you experienced this before? You had a good cry and then said, \u201cI needed that!\u201d<\/em> You did. You needed that.<\/p>\n

Jesus wept. I wept.<\/p>\n

Have you?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
