I enjoy a health drink called Naked. It’s title is very catchy and it simply means…it is stripped of all the bad things that usually are packed into our drinks. Naked Juice means all natural 100% pure juice with absolutely nothing added…no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

I appreciate it when people are NAKED with their experiences. I appreciate the simpleness and the unadorned truth. I find it an admirable trait when someone can be plain-spoken even though it isn’t politically correct.

So many times in our life, I feel like it is customary to wear masks. I feel like it is customary to never expose our true feelings or thoughts. Even in churches, I have found some of them to teach us that we are only to experience JOY! That’s a great emotion to experience but as humans we experience EACH AND EVERY emotion including anger, grief and sadness.

Too many times, those who are naked end up unsupported….because they aren’t following the pack of what has become customary in our culture.
