.....”What makes me think you don’t know what clinical depression is? By replies like this one”....
Again, Willliam’s was all too familiar with his plight and lived 60yrs doing what was needed to overcome it as much as possible for HIM to do,... or he would not have made it this long..... His drug and alcohol addictions only added additional problems for his health, mental and otherwise, as well as his lifestyle and he spoke of this himself.
There is nothing wrong with my posts but might appear so to those who believe that having mental health issues is a get out of free card when making bad decisions.....otherwise how does one explain the ‘right’ decisions William’s made which brought him through this long and which he obviously made many times as well as the bad.....and that is life for most.
I never said mental illness was a ‘’get out of jail free card’’. Severe mental illness and the commission of a serious felony crime however is a matter for the courts. And you might want to take a good look at yourself. Now stop bothering me I’ve had enough of you.
The Footprints Prayer
One night I had a dream... I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord, and Across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand; One belonged to me, and the other to the Lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. I noticed that many times along the path of my life, There was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life This really bothered me, and I questioned the Lord about it. "Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, You would walk with me all the way; But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life, There is only one set of footprints. I don't understand why in times when I needed you the most, you should leave me.
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child. I love you, and I would never, never leave you during your times of trial and suffering. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you.
