Also check out Caitlyn Spence's blog to the right on some sweet witnessing with the SA Uniform. My favorite line "Its not like getting a tattoo, wearing the uniform is much more aggressive".

Schizophrenia like other mental illnesses are genetic. There was once a set of identical twins. Because they were identical they either both carried the gene, or both didn't. In this particular set of twins they did. One twin was adopted into a loving home and the other into a home of abuse and addiction.

Side note - I don't think twins should ever be separated when it comes to adoption...correction I don't think siblings should ever be separated.

So the twin that was raised in a loving home grew up without a trace of any mental illness. The other twin who was raised in an abusive home grew up to be diagnosed with schizophrenia.

This shows us the importance of providing places of refuge, places of safety and places of love for the broken and vulnerable. To create an environment within your relationships with people.

The development of such mental illnesses and I would go a step further and say the development of any spiritual thing depends largely on the environment.

Currently reading - Nothing...Ill get on it - I read an extra book in February so I'm still on my quota of a book a month, but I haven't read anything for April...I gotta get on it for May

God is here.

Sorry I haven't posted lately...haven't really had much to say - or haven't really wanted to say much.

But Ive been thinking... (I know! Shocker!)

Whats the difference between deliverance and freedom.

Can you be free from something with out being delivered???

Can you be delivered from something with out being free???

or do they go hand in hand...

I don't think you can be delivered from something without being free, because really, that's what deliverance is eh - freedom.

I used to think you can be free with out being delivered though. However lately I am thinking I may be wrong. "He who the son sets free is free indeed"

Freedom indeed - now that sounds like deliverance.

Maybe my understanding of deliverance has been off all together... and really its this super awesome better then what I think it is thing. And maybe Im missing out.

On a different note...

So this guy I went to school with adds me to facebook and sends me a message - "yo watsup - hear you are some hard core christian now - thats cool"

I think I like being known as that.

God is here.

hi.

Oh man, yesterday I spent the day wallowing in my sorrow. (is that the right phrase?). Don't ask me why, mostly because I don't have an answer.

The majority of this time involved me alone, with my blanket and about 11 hours of movies. In my defence I only watched 4 hours. And if you know me at all, you know I am not a movie watcher, and to top it off, I'm not a by myself movie watcher. But really, what else was I going to do when in a bad mood, wanting to dis-associate myself from everyone and it was pouring rain. So I called up my roommate and asked if I could use her laptop, and lied on the couch waisting away time.

Sorry I do have a point to this post. One of the movies I watched was Children of Men. Not the greatest movie in my opinion, but had some pretty neat points. So the world hasn't seen children in over 18 years. The youngest person on earth is just over 18 years old. This one girl is pregnant and has a baby in the middle of war and violence...at the sound of the baby's crying all fire is ceased and all violence stopped. I agree...children and infants are the source of peace.

So I've started importing all my blog posts to facebook. Mostly because I had nothing better to do with the past few hours in front of a computer. And now all my facebook friends will have the great opportunity to read my wonderful blog (as if!). And because of this I am putting my currently reading at the bottom so that the blog titles aren't always the same on my facebook posts.

Currently Reading - Out of the Silent Planet by CS Lewis.

Currently Reading - Out of the Silent Planet by CS Lewis (Im so not liking this book)

So Im back from Florida now.

Good trip.

The only bad thing about Florida is there bugs. I think I have like 20 huge bites on my arms and legs.

Hmm, I dont know what to say but thought I would blog and let you all know Im back. I will post pictures on Wednesday when I pick up my laptop that is waiting for me at Purolator.

Until then you can pray for me if you want. Maybe even post a comment with some great prophetic word that will lift me up or something.

God is here.
