Day 4

 

 

So many thoughts today to write in my journal.   

   I was thinking today about the movie "The Wizard of Oz" there are three characters in that story who wanted to have their wishes granted by the wizard of oz. The Scarecrow, a lion, and a tin man. The Scarecrow wanted a brain, the lion wanted courage, and the Tin Man, he wanted a heart.   I thought about how sad it is that some people in the world, are like the Tin Man they don't have a heart, so they have no compassion for others.   Then there are those whose hearts have been broken, and they don't want to be hurt again, so they wish they were like the Tin Man. in the song I wish I were “A Tin Man” by Kenny Chesney. The words were "I wish I were a Tin Man man, you could hurt me all you want, and I’d never even know.”   So sad that so many hearts have been broken in our world today that I’m sure some people wish they didn’t have a heart.  They wish they were a tin man, like in the movie “The Wizard Of Oz”  The hatred, prejudice, the killings that have ripped so many families apart is overwhelming, to say the least, on every side and in all races.  In the future, there will be stories I’m sure that will tell of this hurt in words that will be turned into stories, and novels.  It will be a way of dealing with their hurt, as well as telling what others feel who cannot express it in words. This is a sad, sad time in our history.  As a pastor, novelist, it breaks my heart as well.

See you tomorrow on day 5
