Or that they are weak if the take medications prescribed by their physician.<BR/><BR/>This chemical imbalance is as real as the disturbances in the body that cause diabetes, or high blood pressure. It can happen to anyone, and taking care of yourself is just as necessary as any other condition in which a part of the body is not in perfect sync.<BR/><BR/>Now how many of us can say we are in perfect sync with our bodies at all time?<BR/><BR/>I'll pray for your healthy returnTiggerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01203149295253257268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8168622605417379346.post-20174146059461494122008-11-24T15:38:00.000-06:002008-11-24T15:38:00.000-06:00I am so grateful that a man who is able to let go ...I am so grateful that a man who is able to let go of his earthly pride and accept his human nature leads our congregation. We live in a world that so often convinces us that when things like depression and burn out take hold of our lives, we should keep it to ourselves and trust in our conventional wisdom to find answers. As Christians we know that this route generally leads to failure, as we cannot rely solely on our own limited understanding of the world, and our place in it. <BR/>I am constantly reminded how complex and anxiety driven our world can become by just flicking on the television. It seems like a relentless viewing of the world pushing God out. <BR/>Sometimes I wonder where God is in all this chaos. The answer is simple, just often unseen. It comes to us in the beauty of a tree, the sound of a bird’s song, the smile from a child. I know these notions seem simple, but it is my firm belief that sometimes the best solution to a complex problem is usually the one that is simple and overlooked.<BR/>Take time to explore all of God’s beauty, when in need look for the unexpected in everything. Thank you for your service to our congregation and thank you for being a real human being.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
