Laurie,


Well, I just want to thank you for taking time out of your busy day, and giving me this article Ten Things to Do Before Age Ten. I feel so much better. To be honest, this is very close to what I have been doing with him already. I’m not too sure on the memory work though. Can I be so bold as to share with you — God used you in a mighty way in my personal life yesterday, when you wrote that little email. I have been suffering from such a deep depression with this recent exacerbation. I can’t put it in words, but just trying, I will tell you I truly believe your encouraging words have helped me have the best day, mentally, that I’ve had in four months. Thank you. I truly believe God is healing my depression, and finally I feel it for the first time, physically too. I hope this make sense. Well, I just wanted to let you know that, and hope it encourages you, even if it’s a small amount in comparison to the encouragement you have given me. God Bless you and your entire endeavor. Hope this isn’t too mushy or anything. P.


Yes, depression is such a monster. It covers us up like a thick and heavy blanket, distorting our hearing, seeing, and thinking, making us believe things that just aren’t so. I think Satan uses it as his first line of attack and has many of us tangled up in it. I’ll pray for you if you pray for me. OK? Let’s not let the Old Deluder have his way.
