Recently I read a post on Jennifer Dukes Lee’s blog about grief, penned by Cheri Gregory. Cheri wrote so beautifully about grief, I want to include an excerpt here.

I’ve done my fair share of crying. The last time I cried was Sunday evening, when I felt overstimulated in a good way from a meeting with other writers. My tears needed to flow to release internal pressure. I felt relieved and reset after those tears fell.
I won a contest with this post on how God collects my tears in little bottles. If you’re struggling with a time to cry, this post can encourage you.
I intentionally seek out times for laughing to counter my serious, melancholy nature. Here are my top ten favorite sources of laughter:
I have three book reviews for you today! A spiritual growth book, a parenting book and a cookbook.
A poem celebrating winter, on this snow day of no work or school for our family!
Today’s post about killing hidden sins is based on chapter 4 of my book, Newness of Life.

It’s time to kill the hidden sins in my heart. The ones I don’t voice to the world, because they would make me seem petty and mean. The sins I hold closely and keep feeding with self-pity.
But I’m taking a chance and revealing one of those hidden sins to you today.
