Members phkrause Posted August 24, 2011 Members Posted August 24, 2011 Heshy and Izzie have breakfast together every morning at the local bagel shop. “You won’t believe what happened to me last night,” says Heshy. “I was so depressed thinking about the state of America, the stock market, the jobs, the government debt, the Health Care Plans, the economy, the wars, lost jobs, savings, Social Security, retirement funds.” “What’s so hard to believe? You and the rest of America,” says Izzie. “Well I was so upset that I called a Suicide Hotline but for some reason I was connected to a call center in Pakistan.” “That is strange.” “Wait it gets worse. When I told them I was suicidal they got excited and asked if I could drive a truck..."

Parade Orange Posted August 24, 2011 Posted August 24, 2011 ding! Quote All progress in the Spiritual Life is knowing and Loving GOD"there is non upon earth that I desire besides YOU" PS 73:25That perspective changes EVERYTHING-suffering and adversity are the means that makes us hungry for GOD. Disapointments will wean us away wordly occupations. Even sin(when repented of) becomes a mechanism to push us closer to HIM as we experience His Love and Forgiveness.
