Dealing with Depression…The Medical…The Spiritual…

One of the best things I have ever read about depression and faith and reading it meant a lot to me as someone who has dealt with depression and wrestled with faith.

Mommy on a Mission Project

So many question about depression. Is it me? Am I overthinking things? Being paranoid? Not trusting God enough? Do I lack faith? Here is an article about depression from a mental health standpoint.

There is no hypocrisy in being against what Westboro Baptist Church wanting to execute people due to their religious beliefs and Islamofascists actually executing people for theirs.

On “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, left-wing icon and titular host of “Real Time with Bill Maher” outlines how those on the left have been wrong to censor and censure any criticism of Islam, in the face of the reality of Islamic terrorism.

Here are some of the key players in the film and their roles in history:

Interesting article about a new show that is a martial arts action show with spiritual themes. There hasn’t been anything like this on TV since the old “Kung Fu” show, so I hope this show rocks. (Dear WordPress: Please recognize “Kung Fu” and don’t put those red lines under it like its misspelled.
