  • Depression does not own me like it used to. Now I have normal human depression.

    What keeps that in check is praying all 4 decades of the Rosary each day. I don’t really pray them well, i make it a point to do them. It keeps that bad stuff under control.

    Honestly just being with someone who is depressed is the best option. Talking with them can be tricky because most (me included) just want to justify why they are depressed instead of getting out of it.

    Being with them, even if you don’t say much is helpful without being enabling.

    If they want to go on about their problems, listen. You can respond with, “I understand it feels that way.”

    If they ask for solutions, give them small bite sized things to do, and when you are hit with the inevitable excuses of how none of that will work, just go back to, “I understand it feels that way.”





  • I think you’re right. The flag isn’t what I have a problem with. The response is what I have a problem with. ‘GAY’ has proven to be the most corrosive ideology. It starts with something almost reasonable and ends up with your little boy wanting to cut his dick off.

    It is very reasonable to ask questions. Their response was not reasonable. Telling concerned people to leave because they are bigots and haters - that concerns me.

    What they said very clearly is that we need to leave if I don’t agree 100% with the gay agenda. I don’t agree with the gay agenda at all.

    So I am leaving.

    They could have said that it was a 3rd party and that it has no place on a Christian set. They could have apologized for not being diligent on who they hired. None of that happened. They didn’t have to respond the way they did.
