Don't you think it's quite wonderful how women across the country are finding the same words to evoke the experiences of this season?<br /><br />And what a GREAT idea ~ a Longest Night service for those for whom this is far from a time of joy.Gannet Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16374279595560691174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33185052.post-35807580316885683672006-12-21T11:29:00.000-05:002006-12-21T11:29:00.000-05:00Me again.

I sometimes run across clients who have been to some Christian counselors -- one in particular (who shall remain nameless) who seems to be very well-meaning, but...<br /><br />I can think of one case in particular where an individual was struggling with disabling anxiety. And the counselor's advice to them was that their anxiety reflected a lack of faith in God.<br /><br />Of course, this simply worsened their anxiety. Suddenly they saw their pain as their fault, rather than seeing God as supporting them through the time of difficulty.<br /><br />Needless to say, I much prefer your image.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03275381128126684009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33185052.post-53328474232275690312006-12-21T09:54:00.000-05:002006-12-21T09:54:00.000-05:00Lovely and stirring.
