Troubled people searching for an excuse, sad
Suicide is both a tragic and frightening way to end a life. Some people do it quick,others take years. Lord help them.
Well at least when the rest of us do the fighting we won't have to have the gutless to hold us back or down afterwards when we rebuild the nation.
Well, I just simply follow my late cousin’s adage in that watching the news on TV for more than a minute is not good for you. There ought to be some sort of campaign about promoting that idea to encourage people to turn off the news channels.
If the dam breaks open many years too soon I could see myself going perhaps homicidal.
I would like to see a poll done to count the amount of people who are instead of suicidal, homocidal. There are a lot of people out there on the edge right now and a lot of them would rather eliminate the cause of their problems rather than themselves.
In Virginia, suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death for people aged 16-25. Covid doesn’t even register.
If you have never experienced this, it is understandable that you will be skeptical and think you are way too intelligent to believe in a God you cannot see. Yet, you will believe in viruses (for instance) you cannot see. I know, you are thinking, “but I see the results of the virus, I see what it does, so I can know it’s real.” If you give God a chance, He will prove to you that He is as real too. He will open the eyes of your heart so that you WILL see Him clearly. And better yet, He will take the burden of stress from you and give you calm and peace.
I’ll give you an example of what walking with and trusting in God does for you..... Years ago my Dad was in hospital in Atlanta, my brother came at midnight to relieve me of sitting with Dad. I left the hospital worried and stressed and scared to drive home from an area I was not familiar with. It was dark, no GPS or cell phone in those days, and all of a sudden I was lost, no idea where I was and crying. I pulled over and in desperation prayed and laid it all on God. I knew that asking in Jesus’ name, He would hear me and answer. Of course I didn’t “hear” a voice tell me anything, but with trust I started driving and each time I felt the very strong urge to turn, I turned. About 15 minutes later I saw the sign for I-400 North and the way home.
No one who knows God’s love for ALL His “children”, and who will surrender the free will God gave to us, surrender it back to Him, admit we can’t do it all without His help, and believe that God justifies our deserving of this gift to us through the sacrifice of His Son Jesus as payment for our sins (YES, IT’S AS EASY AS THAT... JUST BELIEVING), if you do this it is not possible to want to commit suicide.
All over the country, people are considering suicide
= = =
For themself, or for someone else, a la Hillary and the hotline?
Just turn off the bad news then.
Guy at works nephew that committed suicide a couple months ago hung himself not 10 feet from his dad who was working in the next room. They went looking for him for hours all over the place before finding him in this bedroom closet. This was in Oregon. So damn sad. The dad was near comatose for awhile. Now heavily medicated, they said.
This is a serious subject, so I don’t want to sound too flippant.
But this year the “cide” that has featured itself in my thoughts is not suicide.
Youngest son’s best friend committed suicide 2 weeks ago. Reason unkown.
They need to consider there are things worse than suicide like when it fails and your confined to a bed for life.
Never let the voices win they are the weak ones.
What I did in my life is more like a fart in the wilderness.
