Religion

Recently, a local church pastor stopped by the newsroom to talk about depression — his.
He had just come through a second bout of it and thought it was important to tell people that Christians and Christian pastors are not immune to it. It’s not a character thing; it’s a chemical, brain thing, he said.

A few weeks ago I met with a friend who’s a play therapist.
She works with troubled, abused and damaged children, letting them play while she observes and does some other stuff — therapist stuff — that helps them express and process their thoughts and feelings.

I recently had the opportunity again to meet with a few ministry partners in the area.  I have prayed with these folks, shared in ministry with these folks and have come to appreciate their love for the Lord and the church.  We all share in different denominations, we all have different backgrounds and we all do things a little bit different.   The unique thing is that we have a deep affection and respect for each other.
