I ran across this blog today and was stunned by the simplicity of it, but also by the incredible freedom people are finding because of it. It is called PostSecret. People send in postcards they have created that are basically confessions of secrets they have, or sins they have committed. I remember seeing a video of this that a ministry in town put together - at a conference they had people create postcards annonymously and send it to them... I remember one of them clearly - it was someone admitting that their family and friends think they died in the World Trade Center, but they just ran and hid. It's hard to pinpoint how I feel about seeing these postcards - shocked by some, identifying with others, happy for those who find release by sending them in. Check out the site here.
The video for All American Rejects' song Dirty Little Secret showcases a lot of these postcards. You can see the video here.
