I felt embarrassed sharing the last post from 2009. How sick I was! Not just physically, but emotionally. Not only from bipolar disorder, but from emotional problems stemming from childhood.

Tonight I had a call from a lady in Victoria, telling me that her church had its first Living Room meeting today. Another group is born – the tenth. Praise God!
