The Man Behind the Mask

An acquaintance told my wife that she missed my working for the ambulance service because I could bring so much calmness into a chaotic situation. What so many didn’t know was that every time my pager went off, my stomach would tighten and I would never feel prepared for the situation that I was about to face. I think if anyone enjoys this occupation, he or she needs a shrink. Only saying— my personal experience. When I arrived at a scene, I would put on my “I’m-in-control mask.” Then, I’d go about trying to bring order out of the chaos. That lady didn’t know I had such a thing.

 

How many wear a mask so no one can tell what is on the inside? The Pharisees wore a mask and Jesus removed it in John 8:7.

 

 “Let him who is without sin among you, cast the first stone at her”

 

You, behind the mask, give it some thought.
