    voices week 2

    So, the sermon series I am listening to the pastor talked again this week about voices that influence us. He said ultimately there are two voices, either one that leads to the devil or one to God. First he quoted Proverbs 2:2-12 and 1 Thess 5;21 that tells us to tune our hearts to wisdom and...

    Harm Reduction

    So it sounds like this approach addresses the fact that drug users often have enablers around them that encourage or excuse the behavior. I have found that most people who stop using have to make a clean break from those people or situations that drag them down in order to stay clean

    "Glitter Tongue" anyone?

    I used glitter the first couple of months I was in outpatient therapy for play therapy, but some kids like to use a lot of it and it makes a mess. People were leaving my counseling room for weeks with glitter on their butts without even knowing it LOL I guess this person will end up having a...

    Elijah got depressed 1 King 19

    People do things for a reason. Behavior serves some type of purpose. If it didn't it wouldn't be there. Even when people get depressed or anxious it is serving their needs somehow. That is just my opinion

    N.Korean missle bomb development

    North Korea's regime has "succeeded in making a more developed nuke," according to the country's state news agency. The Korean Central News Agency described it as a "nuke" in its English-language report, but called it a "thermonuclear hydrogen bomb" in the Korean version. During a visit to the...

    Elijah got depressed 1 King 19

    From what I have seen many people who are depressed are focused on things they have no control over. It is simply a waste of energy and time. Instead, the focus should be on what you can control and what you can do. Sometimes it may be very little then you just have to learn to let that go...

    "Glitter Tongue" anyone?

    honestly, my first thought was that wouldn't that upset the person's stomach if they swallowed it?

    Chemical imbalance vs Behavioral

    The last few years I have heard a lot about peer support specialists. That is people who have recovered from mental health issues and are now trained to help others. I have spent the last almost ten years in community mental health agencies, so I am not sure if harm reduction advocates are in...

    There are definitely good and bad to being in a larger church. One is that more is expected from others in the church besides the pastors. There is a large army of people who are responsible for greeting people when they come in and answering questions. The bad part is you can easily get lost...

    Chemical imbalance vs Behavioral

    I have never heard them recommend it when I have sat in a session with my clients. Some will suggest that the person should get out and socialize more and see value in church for that reason, but your right they tend to discount the spiritual value of going to church

    The church I have been attending recently has three sites and the main site has over a thousand in attendance on Sundays. There is no way they could know everyone who attends. That is why they emphasize small groups, so that you network with a small group of people who at least in theory...

    Chemical imbalance vs Behavioral

    Psychologist don't prescribe medications, but psychiatrist do. I didn't realize the difference when I wasn't in the field. I do think there is some imbalance for some people. I have met some of them. They have psychotic disorders and would be unsafe to themselves or others without their...

    Chemical imbalance vs Behavioral

    Yes, it is a fact that some antidepressants can make people suicidal, especially the elderly or young children. Years ago when I was going through a hard time the doctor put me on Cymbalta and it was the worst thing ever for me. I told the doctor that I was having "some dark thoughts" and...

    God of the small things

    It has been my experience that God speaks more often in the whisper. we are called to walk by faith and trust HIm. new believers or the immature sometimes need the neon sign pointing the way, something very obvious. i think as you mature God expects for you to grow up in your ability to hear...
