About me

Our family is challenged by Advanced Stage Alzheimer's, Vascular Dementia, COPD, Cancer, mental illness (NPD, BPD, OCD, GAD, etc.) and ongoing family drama.

Despite the Caregiving valleys, God has never forsaken us, and we are thankful. I am also grateful to the supportive people here who have made a difference. Some have become dear friends, so for that, I must say thank you.

Thank you for your prayers & encouragement!

I'm not sure about starting the new thread...would that be telling the non-believers that they weren't welcome? That we thought that we were better than them? Some of them are already so turned off by Christianity that I don't ant to hurt them more. Something to think & pray about! What do you think??

SS-I pray that the ungodly don't intimidate you off of this thread.We godly out number the ungodly[my daughter told me that] You know how smart she is. No one can help someone that doesn't want to help themselves,and there is no judgement there.I beleive in the tea party movement and I understand a lot of what you were trying to convey-esp. in my area.The government can't take care of everyone-we are the government.politcians are lawyers most of the time democrats and republicans[I WISH THEY KEPT STICKIN LAWYERS OUT OF POLITICS.but you know how I feel about lawyers already[not very Christian like]Here in my area being disable means being a drunk or drug addict and the people who need the help don't get it.SUCKS.

Glad you were able to forgive dear sister.
The GOD bashing thread was a little too much for me.
I love & pour my heart out toward folks for GOD's favor in their lives.
For that I get kicked in the teeth. I know CHRIST was crucified for his love to humanity, but I'm not CHRIST & haven't arrived at perfection yet.
I was deceived into thinking I was safe here, and was shocked/deeply hurt to be attacked for my prayers toward the benifit of caregivers.
I never have been comfortable in the shallow end of the pool. Casting off into the deep.
GOD's best to you.
