Diminishing and Disparaging the Mentally Ill

Diminishing and Disparaging the Mentally Ill, Sunset, Ohio, Thoughts of God, thoughtsofGod

The disparaging statements made about Kanye West and his medical conditions have troubled me. I understand there may be reasons not to like what Kanye had to say, but this is about mental health. Simply stated, I have bipolar disorder.

For to Me, to Live Is Christ and to Die Is Gain

Earlier tonight, I was in a group discussing the last half of the first chapter Paul's Epistle to the Philippians. The discussion settled on verses 1:21-26 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose. 23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24 yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again. mythoguhts, thoughtsofgod, thoughts of God

For me there is no question. “To die is gain” and “to live is Christ”. I am confident that the minute I die, will be followed by movement into the presence of God. If that is not gain, I don’t know what is.
