Want to see what a depressed missionary looks like?
August 29, 2014 Want to see what a depressed missionary looks like? That’s a picture of me, in April 2003 when I was suffering from major depression with a little side of psychosis every now and again.

Andy, his wife and four children are all safe. Anything built of wood on the island is pretty much gone. They have enough food and water for the time being; most folks do not. Andy has been given a line of credit to get food for distribution to people who are without. He has a small generator that helps for some things, but I imagine that gasoline will be […]
