I know a guy who when his son was born he was the first one to hold him in his arms. And then when the son died some years later he held him in his arms again. The guy held his son many times in his arms and many guys do that. But not many take it from beginning to end. The flesh of the son was a part of the guy and the soul of the son was a part of the guy. A whale of a guy.
When I think of the church with people in attendance but not so many that the echo effect is dampened, and I think of the guy's father rising and clapping with love, courage, and support, I get all busted up inside. A man's man.
