Is it the people who have depression and can only see the
black side of things or is it those of us who are filling our lives with
trivia? While they see the true horror
of what is happening in our world most of us are collecting gadgets that we

lives away in meaningless activity, all to keep us blinkered from the

and fill our days with doing something, anything, to stop us having to face up
to the truth. What is this truth, it is

horror of war which we think in the West we can turn o0ur backs on, to the
horror of the killing of unborn babies which is largely condoned in our
society, but nevertheless is murder. All this is done by a world that rejects
its Creator, denies His existence. But
God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. There will be a day when all we have done or
condoned will have to be accounted for before God. Take this to heart and you will be worried,
and so you should. However if we come to
Jesus for forgiveness we will find it.
He promises to forgive anyone who comes to Him now. One day it will be too late.

You need to get to know your doctor and develope a relationship with him/her where you feel you can trust their judgement. Do look for help as there are lots of possibilities out there. It is not good to spend long stretches of time on your own. Talking with other people will often help lift your spirits, especially if they are people who have gone through this experience themselves. Maybe you need to join a self help group. Avoid people who tell...
