"Many people with depression assume it's the relationship that is causing the depression, and one of the things you need to understand if you have depression is you have relationship consequences. Everyone in depression will have relationship complications, but that doesn't mean the relationships are the cause." 

I hadn't watched Dr. Nedley's videos for awhile now, but I've always really liked the research he gathers for health issues. I read the diabetes section of his book, Proof Positive and was really impressed. Hopefully one day I will purchase it, but for now it's online videos. :)

I've always liked National Geographic magazines, but mostly because of the pictures. I subscribed to NG for one year because there was a sale and literally only looked at the pictures. I remember while growing up what I wanted to be evolved a lot, but even now I think I would still hold a great appreciation for being a photo-journalist. I don't think it is so much what I'm cut out to do anymore, but nonetheless pictures as such below make me nostalgic.

National Geographic

Shakespearean. Soliloquy. Slang. Scripture.

Ain't nobody got time for the proud man's contumely

When there is hope for the undiscover'd country

All our yesterdays have gathered fools 
the way for dusty death

But I'm not gonna live on wasted breath.

I have seen nothing more conducive to righteousness than solitude. He who is alone sees nothing but God, and if he sees nothing but God, nothing moves him but the will of God.

It's Time

"It's time."

    "It's time?'

It's time. This time.

 Chimes. Mimes. Dimes. 

Clanking. Prancing. Tossing.

Silver. White. Silver.

Tradition. Volition. Donation.

It's time. This time.

A kick of dust under the hot sun.

A hummingbird zooming through bushes in front of a school.

A child running through a dim hall.

A teacher settling notebook papers on her desk.

A mother taking a secretarial call.

A man removing bills from envelopes.

A Father moving through the earth.

It's time. This time.

Forgotten ink.

No time to think.

All wonder if the journey's bleak.

Storms or whispers? How do You speak?

Reached the peak; 

My mind is silent, but the blisters creak.

Mortal powder on my head, 

awaiting laws to show me to my bed.

If it pleases you, can we meet and you'll be fed.

I have a friend named Tumult, whose infliction I have dreaded.

If it pleases the Queen, it pleases me.

Forgotten ink.

No time to think.

Take the daily.

Make it hasty.

React but not reflect.

Look back and you'll defect.

Na.

O.

Breath.

Yah

weh

Devotional

As of late, I've been reading this book called "Lessons From the Life of Nehemiah" and it is a deep study. This is just what I've been looking for. I was speaking with my cousin the other day that I have been looking for a Bible study that is deep but easy to understand. This Bible study is just right and the commentary really helps. Not sure, but thinking this might be a great addition to our small group study ^_^
