LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 86 (July 26, 2007) Enough talk about negative, unhappy things. I need to talk about some neat things: things happening with our Living Room support group. We have three members in our group who are keen about facilitating, each with a set of wonderful gifts. I’m excited about that – happy about […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 85 (July 21, 2007) I guess I need to continue this discussion, though I’d rather leave it alone. Talking about these things upset me and are not good for my mood. I’d rather talk about positive things. The Bible says: “…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 84 (July 18, 2007) I finished reading the book and still think it has serious problems and is dangerous for Christians to be reading, especially Christians who want to be supportive of those suffering from depression and other mental illnesses. Neil Anderson spiritualizes everything. In one place he talks about a woman […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 83 (July 17, 2007) I will continue talking about Neil Anderson’s The Bondage Breaker when I have finished reading Victory over the Darkness again. I have read over half of this book and actually found a lot of good in it. Anderson describes how by living in the Spirit–living in Christ–we will […]

We focused on a poem written by one of our members. Briefly, it’s about a cracked vase that is threatening to break but looks […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 80 (July 10, 2007) Yesterday someone googled the above and found my blog. I thought I would write on this to see if I can help by letting this person know roughly what I told my pastor when I first started coming to the church I’m now a happy member of. My […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 79 (July 5, 2007) Having bipolar disorder isn’t all bad, especially when you are fortunate enough to have medications that work for you. This illness has been with me since I was nineteen years old and I am now 61. I couldn’t imagine being a regular person – a person without a […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 78 (June 22, 2007) Things have come together. I no longer feel so dizzy and stressed. And I’m sure it’s all because we had a Living Room meeting this afternoon.

Read More...Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27 This young child was mesmerized by the holy moment, singing a Hanukkah song by the menorah. She reminds me […]
