Two psychiatrists were talking and one asked the other, “What was your most difficult case?”

His colleague answered, “Once I had a patient who lived in a pure fantasy world. He believed that a wildly rich uncle in South America was going to leave him a fortune. All day long he waited for a make-believe letter to arrive from a fictitious attorney. He never went out or did anything. He just sat around and waited.”

“What was the result?” asked the first psychiatrist.

“Well, it was an eight-year struggle but I finally cured him. And then that stupid letter arrived…”

Some people are afraid to open their eyes. And some just keep their eyes closed no matter what.

Now is the time to open our eyes!! Tomorrow is the day for YOU and me to make one of biggest decisions of our lifetimes as we go to vote. It is reported that 32 million Catholics and Protestants who attend church regularly  and are not just Christian in name only, will NOT vote tomorrow. 

Are YOU and I just waiting for “that stupid letter to arrive?”

THE LOVE OF JESUS ALWAYS HELPS YOU TO SEE BEYOND THE FAULTS OF OTHERS!

    THE LOSS OF SOMEONE DEAR Imagine the loss of someone dear,  A heart in pain, filled with fear.  Hurt so deep, it’s all you see,  You go to pray, seeking to be free. Temptation pulls to focus within,  To talk it through, to maybe dwell on sin.  But this path leads to deeper despair,  Fixing on pain, your heart to snare….
