Andy darlin',

I will indeed keep you in thoughts and prayers. As all of my SF friends are.

Dave's advice is sage. Do as he says.

I think I have an idea what you guys may be dealing with as I get sudden massive clouds of sorrow, sadness, despair that land on me often, without warning and not-infrequently without discernible cause. Just had one last night. It's part of a nasty PTSD that I have struggled and battled with for many years. My hope is to get rid of it completely and re-wire my brain as if it had never had PTSD, but in the meanwhile, the best I can do is continually improve coping skills.

If anyone wishes to pray that I will acquire a healthier brain - have at it!
Thanks.

Hello all,

For those of you who may have missed Daniel's post on the "hello my name is" forum, he is dealing with an ear problem that started suddenly about a week ago.

Please keep Daniel in your prayers.

Thank you.

I'm praying for you, Andy. I've struggled with depression in the past myself.

I'm praying for you as well, Zerbie. While I don't know what it's like to struggle with PTSD I do have some personal experience with other challenges.

Daniel, I hope your ear(s?) feel better soon.

Robert & I are doing great. We hope to move soon to a better neighborhood. Please pray for our contiued growth, synergy, and intimacy as couple.

I'm doing well in school, but the semester is heating up.

Keep our young adult ministry in prayer, we're working on making some good changes.

Hey All,

Just to let you know you've been with me all weekend. Yesterday was another wonderful day. We've been doing a series of Lenten services in our district, Ash Weds. to Maunday Thurs. All of the churches in our district meet together on Sunday eves. for services at different churches in the district. Last night was my turn at one of my churches, what a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for your prayers. The only time I really feel whole is that one hour (or two or three, as in this Sunday) when I'm standing in that pulpit sharing the love of our Heavenly Mother/Father God. And I know I've only been sharing on this forum for a short while, but I've been "looking" for a year, and just knowing you are here has been such a strength, thank you. I'm praying for you all, and thank you for remembering me.

All Soulforce friends and families are in my daily prayers. Vern, glad to hear you smiling broadly.

Thanks Lydia, I'm doin' awright. The usual stuff, but hafta say I feel I'm dealing with it all better than ever.

Yesterday I got my hair colored bright coppery red, and am feeling very vivacious!

Cool Oh, Zerb, BE CAREFUL!

With that new hair, you may suddenly find your self being pursued by males, AND females with inclinations and proclivities that simply cannot be talked about in polite company! (But then again, do be sure and send me a photo.)

Prayers for all

Peace and Love, Bruce Chris

And that would differ from the rest of my usual life, precisely how?




From flirty golden blonde to vivacious redhead. This is FUN!

Please keep my spouse Charley in your prayers. There are some heart concerns. We see the cardiologist today. I'm very nervous.

Default Thanks!

The appointment went well. There are some worrisome anomalies, but the cardiologist agreed to treat them with medication for a period of time before resorting to more invasive interventions. That's a relief. Hospital stays for trans people can be a very scary experience we hope to avoid. There is still much education that needs to happen in the medical field about respect for persons whose gender expression may not match their physical bodies.

Courage and love to Ben and Charley.

Medical science has come a long way in recent decades. I've got a family member with some "anomalies" in cardiac health, for nearly a decade, which are managed smoothly with medication. No change in lifestyle whatsoever, totally as active as ever. The only difference is popping a pill every day. I pray that Charley has a smooth time managing his condition as well.
