Mental Health Monday

I think I'm suffering from over-medication. I'm having more trouble focusing. I experience more fuzzy thinking. I'm also suffering from a serious case of writer's bloc, although this may or may not be related. I'm on 3 psychotropic meds, & I wonder if that's too many. Fortunately I see my Nurse Practitioner next week, & we can discuss what's going on.

Assaults on Faith

"Of all the sad things we have witnessed over the last 25 years, the saddest has been the decline of faith among the American people. Perhaps it is the effects of our growing affluence. Maybe it results from the daily assaults on faith by the Left & their parrots in the media. The demeaning character assassination of people of faith certainly takes its toll. With the unrelenting pounding of the waves, the rock has been worn down." ["Those Men of Faith," Gil Guteknetcht, Townhall, 5/5]

Being in the World

"The difference between being in the world & being of the world finally comes down to being in Christ. However they live, whatever they do, wherever they go. Christians are in Christ. They belong to Him. They follow Him. They learn to look & act like Him. They never hide or deny their Lord in a foolish, faithless attempt to fit into or look more like the world. That cannot happen. Yet because they belong to Christ & follow Him, they also will never turn their backs on the world that He created & then died to redeem & restore." ["In Christ & in the World," Rev. Joel Biermann, The Lutheran Witness, March 2019]
