Phil,
I'm known in the church as the crier. I break down easily too. In
fact, I shared some thoughts from Jeremiah 29:11-13 this morning
myself, explaining that Jeremiah is my favorite prophet because he
cried, just like me. The emotional side of these people is coming to
the surface, praise God, but, As God promised through Jeremiah in
Jeremiah 31:31-34, he is melting their hearts of stone and giving
them hearts of flesh. Go God.
