Ambulance at Wendy's

It was riding in a car one night and saw an ambulance in the drive-thru of Wendy's.

I thought to myself, "well I have never seen that before." To be honest I was a little offended and very critical of the person/people in the ambulance at first. I mean, here are these people driving around saving lives in a mobile hospital and they're eating unhealthy food. What kind of example is that?

After my criticism of them I loosened up and searched for possible explanations to their lacking of healthy eating. I mean, maybe they're in a rush and couldn't prepare anything to eat. Maybe they're just getting something to drink. Maybe the patient in the back of the ambulance had a final wish to eat some Wendy's before they passed. I would honor that sort of request.

Originally after the last paragraph I wrote two more paragraphs about how doctors and nurses should be held to a higher standard and be a positive example for the surrounding community but I erased it all because I should held to a higher standard also.

Because I've been in plenty of drive-thru's.

And I'm supposed to save people.

And I'm supposed to drop my stone.

And get the plank out of my eye.

Body Parts | Ears

Ears.

We listen with our ears
And speak with our peers
What if our ears, produced tears?
And after all of these years
The only time I see them is in a mirror.

Kind of weird they're on the side of our head
And always cover one up when we lay in our bed
With ear-buds in, we never hear what they said
If we don't listen, would we be better off dead?

I love my ears, even if they're red.
Because without them, I'd never hear Michael Scott's, "That's what she said."

Ears.

Power of Secrets

This semester I'm taking a class where we do a group research project. Our group decided to do research on self-disclosure in a dating relationship. If you don't know, self-disclosure is when we reveal information about ourselves to another person. Usually, as the relationship grows stronger, the greater the depth of information is revealed. There are a bunch of other theories that I could throw at you but they're boring and don't get to the point.

Anyways, self-disclosure involves, in a sense, sharing secrets, but not in the gossip kind of way.

Secrets are a powerful force. The saying, "information is power" really strikes hard when it involves secrets. There is a website called Postsecret where you can mail in your secrets anonymously on a postcard. The goal of it is to not let your secrets take hold of you.

I think secrets can hold us back, which at times may be a good thing, and at times be a bad thing. The point of revealing a secret, of getting it off your chest, is that the secret no longer has control over you. You take control of the secret because it no longer defines you.

Secrets have power. A power to heal, to love, to destroy, and many more. I urge you to find a way to reveal your secrets. I believe they will reveal your true relationships and reveal God in a new light. Let your secrets be free, let them go.

Just let it go, let it go, let it go.
