Perdue and the General Assembly, people in Georgia who have behavioral health issues, developmental disabilities and addictive diseases now have an agency that?s solely focused on supporting their well-being and independence.?

On the Topic of the Handicap, Mentally Ill, and Salvation
2008-02-15 14:00:00 A good friend of mine, concerned about lost souls, asked the question, "what happens to them after death. I wonder how God judges them? If they ever could actually comprehend the gospel?"I do think it is a difficult question, maybe with few or no easy answers, considering the destination of the mentally handicapped people. But, to me, the discussion of the topic creates a burden within our hearts for souls, and not just the souls of the mental but also of all lost people. If we stop caring about souls, then we are merely a castaway to the Christian faith and cause of Christ. We can all try to live the legalistic life of the Pharisee, but are merely full of dead men?s bones if we have no desire to share the Message with the lost.First, I believe, we must agree with Scripture that every soul ever born will either reject the gospel of Jesus Christ or accept the gospel of Jesus Christ, and therefore spend eternity in Heaven or Hell. Second, we must also acknowledge that God is love, is ...

Police Officers In A Very Bad Light - Are We Hiring Mentally Ill Officers?
2007-10-10 04:04:00 As I write this I'm watching CNN's presentation of a terrible image of a White Maile police officer arresting, then spraying, and punching a young Black woman who was all of 90 pounds. Regardless of the explaination, it's obvious that it was an application of excessive force.Then there was the other police officer -- again White and Male -- who's repeatedly tazering a young woman -- time after time. Then there was the student at the John Kerry panel even in Florida -- a young man who like anyone else just wanted to have his say. Then there's the Black preacher who wanted to get into the Iraq War Hearing and was wrestled to the ground and arrested -- even as others were allowed to pass him by.Then there's the officer who went off and killed his girlfriend and others just a few days ago. I could go on and on. This is happening all too often and so the question must be asked "Are we hiring police officers who may be mentally ill?" What I mean is that the "modern" officer i...

Who's Mentally Ill?
2007-07-17 17:11:00 Yesterday I felt overwhelmed by "mentally ill" behavior by so-called "normal" people. Three episodes stand out.Episode 1My mother had a tear in her leg. Her skin is very thin but this was a particularly bad one. There has been a problem with her new doctor at her assisted living facility, and a problem with the head nurse. I had everything under control and was handling it. Out of nowhere, my sister--who's a control freak--once again felt the need to undermine my authority and take over.Episode 2I was taking both of our dogs on leashes for a walk. My 24 pound terrier was attacked by a pit bull. As the pit bull had my dog's paw in his mouth, his owner started screaming at me that her dog doesn't bite.Episode 3A month ago a friend's mother fell and broke her arm and pelvis. My friend's brother and his wife who allegedly came to help--didn't--and then stole all of the staples in my friend's mother's guest house and refrigerator on their way out of town.I ask you: Who'...
