A Time to Weep (Brett Beeson)
If you’ve sat in church long enough (or ever watched Footloose), you will have heard this verse: “A time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance” (Ecclesiastes 3:4). If you open a Bible up to the chapter, though, you will notice there’s more: “A time to love and a time to …

But as I have grown older and wiser …
