Special Song By Bob Bennett

Typically I save music for Saturday night.  However, I came across this powerful song by Bob Bennett as he sings about his son going to Iraq.  The first two minutes are Bob sharing, but the song is well worth the viewing.  This is dedicated to all of our men and women who are in harms [...]

A Child Learns

I saw this gem on Looking For Truth’s blog
and she gave me permission to reproduce it here.
It contains a whole lot of truth.
Pray for LFT as she is not doing well physically.

Mrs. United States Educates America about Mental Illness

I openly admit I am not a fan of beauty pageants.  Things changed when I came across this article about Dr. Gariane Gunter.  This is another public figure (no pun intended) who will work hard at getting the word out about stigma and Mental Illness.  I came across a few things stating her child is [...]

Help My Unbelief

I decided to share all three accounts of the same story that is related in Scripture.  It helps me to better understand things.  I believe one can get by with reading just one account though!
It seems when I read Scripture, stories like these cause me to immediately think on how they might relate to [...]

Prayer Requests & Praise Reports- October 24th

Ecclesiastes 2:1  I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:2  I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?”
Ecclesiastes 2:3  I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine–my heart still guiding me [...]

NARSAD Researcher Pieces Together Gene Network Linked to Schizophrenia

I came across this article at NARSAD which is one of the links listed on this blog.  Although I don’t qualify to speak towards scientific findings, I do think that reporting on them when I can could be a source of encouragement to many.  In this case, Schizophrenia is a very real illness.  Some would [...]

Movies For Therapy

Christian Spotlight On Entertainment is a place I frequent to see what folks are saying about movies I might be interested in.  They have an interesting section titled  “Movies For Therapy.”  Their 53 topics cover everything from  Loss and Grief to Family Conflict.  Many of the movies are not Christian based and may not be [...]
