PostSecret

Do you read PostSecret? It should be mandatory Monday reading. People send in postcards with their secrets on them.

On retreat a few years ago, we did this amazingly cathartic exercise. We wrote notes on small slips of paper. The notes could be secrets, confessions, problems, or anything that was a barrier between us and God, or us and others. We took those notes and we nailed them on to a cross. Followed it with a simple prayer. Sometimes, thoughts can overwhelm me. I'm gonna go buy a stack of postcards.

A fun alternative:

Dear Frank,

Today we decided to write down our secrets and put them in little plastic eggs along with some candy. We hid them all over San Diego. It was the best Easter we've ever had.
Get that crap off your mind. Oh, and go read PostSecret.
