Being There

We live in a universe where people are bipolar. And use that as an excuse for anger. And use that as an excuse for not doing their job. And finally use that to give into the pain that ensues from depression. We recently saw such pain in Robin Williams, an obviously troubled soul, loved by so many yet convinced that this life was not worth putting up with anymore. Only he and God know why he came to this decision. But we all do that, do we not? Even though we have a decided sphere of people who love us and care for us, we make decisions that say, "Well this life is too hard right now and I cannot handle it". And so we become bingers, either of food, alcohol, sex, whatever is the thing that gives us instant gratification. Jesus turned to God and said "Father please take this away". (my interpretation is that life was becoming a little too hard for him to bear). But then he prayed, "Yet not my will but thine". The only separation we see of Jesus and God and I believe that was to demonstrate to us that yes things will get unbearable, but God will somehow, someway get us through. Thank you God!!!!
