Fresh and so clean

I just got home from work and the first thing I did was take a shower! I had to clean my burns so they don’t get infected. In doing so the skin started to come off......it hurt so freaking bad that I cried! So I thought about it for a moment and came to this conclusion. When bad things happen there are layers of emotions left behind. In getting over those problems you have to clean yourself from what happened. The cleansing process might be painful while going through it, but in the end it is beneficial. If you don’t cleanse yourself then more things will begin to corrupt your life and infection will set in. (From the bottom of your feet to the top of your head there is no healthy spot left on your body- only bruises, sores, and fresh wounds. They haven't been cleansed, bandaged, or soothed with oil. Isaiah 1:6) Jesus was sacrificed on the cross for his pure blood to cleanse our infected lives from sin. Let Jesus be your soap and cleanse you from the things infecting your life. Allow God to come into your life and be able to use you to change the world. (They treat my dear people's wounds as though they were not serious, saying, "Everything is alright! Everything is alright!" But it's not alright. Jeremiah 8:11) Though people often appear together on the surface, many are hurting and broken inside. People tend to comfort others by saying everything is okay, but when there is no action behind their words then there is no meaning. Don’t fight against the cleansing process for it is what you need to be used by God. Don't depend on people to get you through tough times, for is God ment for you to go through it, he ment for you to ask Him for help.

He robbed me

I opened Lone Oak at 6:00 saturday morning like i do every saturday. The morning was slow with a few regular customers coming and going. At about 7:15 a black male about 25 years old came in the store. He asked to buy a cup of water and i replied yes it will be 25 cents. As he walked toward the fountain drinks i told him we didnt have a water spout over there. I was nice and said i could get him some water from the kitchen. The guy said no thanks he needed hot water. So he filled a 16 ounce cup with the water out of the spicet on the side of the coffee pot. (The water is about 100 degrees) I didn't put much thought into why he needed hot water so i was like ok. So then the guy walked up to the counter and i checked him out. When i opened the register to put his change in the guy through the hot water at my chest and grabed the money and ran out the door. I screamed for chris to come help me (chris is deli guy) He ran out the store only being able to see the car pulling out the parking lot. The cops came and so did the parimedics. I had to go to the ER to be treated for 2nd degree burns. After the hospital visit i had to go to the sheriffs office to record a statement and to describe in detail to the sketch artist what the man looked like. (this is important because the tape in the cameras was not recording at the time) so it was about 2:00 when i finaly got to go home and take pain medacine and go to sleep. That was my eventful saturday! so tell me what you would have done in that situation!
