Jaded ~ There are Two Sides of Depression
I wasn’t the depressed guy that stayed in bed all day, let their house fall apart around them, and never did the dishes. That just wasn’t me.

I wasn’t theContinue reading “Jaded ~ There are Two Sides of Depression”

He may be the longest, constantContinue reading “Plucked from the Womb”

I am tired of it! The older I get the more God shows me to look only at myself. “U CContinue reading “The Accidental Overdose”
