In the recent months I have been reading a lot more than I have in the past. Which leads me to the point that I was in the book store the other day first to spend time with God (date w/ Jesus) and second to pass some time while kirstin was a work. After enjoying a nice chia frappe and studying God's word I started looking around the store in various interest groups and I came across a book that is solely written confessions. Random people and the secrets the have. No one knows who they are, but the author puts together a book of pure honesty from the darkest areas of our lives and mind. I will admit that some of the confessions were good and were a blessing to read. It really is scary what some of the people were confessing to. It shows how much people really want to express what is plaguing their minds but are afraid of what people will think about them or afraid of dealing with the consequences that come with such an expression of pure honesty. Murder, Suicide, sexual exploits, sexual fear and abuse, eating disorders, hate, and the list goes on. It really makes you think about what kind of world we are in. America, the land of the free...there is no freedom when you are a slave to sin. That is what all this is about...sin. Hopeless sin. People are losing hope and are looking the wrong direction desperatly trying to climb out of the pit of hopelessness. It is so sad that they are missing the ladder that is right be hind them...the ladder God offers to get out of that hopeless pit. Anyways, it made me think about what kind of secrets do I hide...what is in the very depths of my mind that if the world only knew...
