Like a cry gone up for a fallen friend...joy at last. 6 days left.

"The twists and turns of life have a way of reminding us-- we aren't home here.  This is not our homeland.  We aren't fluent in the languages of disease and death.  The culture confuses the heart, the noise disrupts our sleep, and we feel far from home.
And you know what?  That's ok."-----from Traveling Light by Max Lucado.  This passage really hit

Everyone struggles with depression. I do.

ah, i didn't even mean that you were affecting your own witness.
you're never a bad witness to anybody at all from what i've seen.
seriously, i hold you in one of the highest regards.
you don't even know.

i guess i shouldn't have said that at all... i definitely wasn't saying it to make you feel worse. i was just mentioning that it's what i learned from myself. cause i am a bad witness when i'm depressed.

but you.. you still look to God and you still post verses so that you can reflect on those and try to live by those and give yourself hope through them. and you're not irrational. you still realize that God is good and can do great things.

i believe someone can have joy but be depressed at the same time.
hmm you should read c.s. lewis' bibliography, surprised by joy.

sparknotes is really good for Hamlet :)
