Depression is serious and needs treatment to be sure, but I think those times can be beneficial if you draw near to God. On the radio the other day, a pastor suggested that without depression, many of the Psalms would never have been written. And I have found that the times when life seemed the hardest, where the times when I was the most aware of God's presence. So keep hanging in there. You are an inspiration. I'm thankful for YOU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4216528995551216734.post-44203087805050169532008-08-28T21:23:00.000+08:002008-08-28T21:23:00.000+08:00I really got what you were saying about the future...I really got what you were saying about the future seeming dismal with such a condition.

Their music was played in my home much as I was growing up... my mother often played their music on the piano and my father sang many of their songs in church. They always bring such sweet memories. "Because He Lives" has always been one of my favorites, but I had never heard the story of how they came to write the song. Wow... very powerful! Also brings new meaning to the words for me... particularly the verse speaking of "how sweet to hold a newborn baby".
