NAMI support groups are a lifeline for me. There is a world of help at my local NAMI McHenry, free to me and everyone else. There is strength in sharing experiences peer-to-peer, whether in a group or 1-1. I have a purpose to get out of the house too!

I have a sermon about The Four Friends in Mark 2:1-4 for thoughts on Mental Illness & Congregations. I can preach in person or via zoom. HMU for more info!
I haven’t preached in 15 yrs so I’m a little rusty. I preached @ a friend’s church & it all came back to me, including the required Sunday nap.

Today is the packing party for the unwanted move because of my roommate’s death - and I wanted to offer the chance to help one last time, even a little bit. It all helps!

Im still trying to pay off the lease penalty after my roommate died suddenly. I wasn’t able to find a new roommate so I had to give less than 60 day notice. Every little bit helps. Would you help me out?

I’m still under water for the rental penalty since my roommate died two weeks ago. Can you help with even $5 or $10?

Heartbroken by wildfires in southern CA. That was my adolescent hometown. So much loss for so many people. And a sign of climate change IMHO.

Having trouble with my mental illness. The delusions I get at Christmas came early. Avoiding all religious trappings of Christmas as the delusions are religious in nature ad don’t want to make them worse. Working closely with treatment team. But still no relief.

At least 350 transgender and gender-diverse people have been murdered over the past year, according to the Trans Murder Monitoring Project.

This Trans Day of Remembrance should serve as a rallying cry for vigilance, protection, and action.

Pastory-type folks: what online commentaries do you use? I’ve got one sermon left in me but no access to commentaries. I’m sure there are good websites and commentaries online now as I haven’t preached since 2010. Obviously liberal too.

It’s Transgender Awareness Week! Remember to honor those you know, be on the lookout for those who may come in your life, and learn more about the troubles those who are transgender face
