Good Morning Sunshine

Phillipians 4:8

And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.


Whatever is true,noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things.


Peace with God will guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. My understanding is transcended by the knowledge of peace with God. 


I draw on that peace and understanding as I try to think of the eight things that God wants us to think about. My sensitivity to mental illness jokes and despair is true. While the rev ended with the woman wanting to pray and not come out of the hospital the same as she came in. Sickness such as cancer, broken bones, and physical internal injury gets way more respect than mental illness. Our brain is an organ. We are not in control of our mind during certain situations. When you make fun of us you just continue the stereotype. We all have problems and to offer mental help with counseling but then make fun of it is hypocritical. Most blacks won’t seek mental illness help. Children and adults need that support and it shouldn’t be put down, yet say, we have counseling if you need it. Who would want to be made fun of by reaching out to get help. If you have a broken bone, it’s easy to see and you have people who understand. If you have mental illness people can’t see where you are broken but only can judge your actions. When you behave erratically and out of normal behavior, it scares people, as it should, but don’t make fun. Help us, not demean and ridicule us. I spend hours wondering if it is true, noble and right to even believe that a real couple, husband and wife relationship is something I should believe for us. I know you can’t wait to get back to your normal. Where do I fit in? Should I fit in? Is it lovely, admirable and pure for me? Is it healthy for me to believe there is hope for a relationship? I have to heal my mind and determine what is true. So I ask you, what is true?

Hello My Love, Hello

 Returning Home, Returning to the Family. I’m sorry. I’m confused. I thought you wanted distance. I will be calling tomorrow in hope that someone actually turned in my glasses. I left them on my chair and when I went back, they were gone. God is good and I’m believing that good is in my future. Some caring individual must have turned them in. I was wrong for leaving them. I have a whole summer ahead of me.

Good Morning

 L uke 8:11-15 New International Version 11  “This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is the word of God.  12  Those along the path are the ones who hear, and then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.   13  Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.  14  The seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures, and they do not mature.   15  But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop. Taking care how you listen. I ask God to guide me to his truth and keep my mind and heart open to what he has to say. Let me not let the worries of this world choke me. I wa...
