Take a Break and Laugh
I have been through a great amount of pain, depression and bitterness, but sometimes ya just gotta laugh. Thus, I thought I'd change directions today and just post some of my favorite memes. Some of these I created myself and others are from Google. I hope at least a few of them make ya smile.

“Live,” says Death. “I am coming.”
We have to make peace with the fact that someday our time on this Earth will be over. We must live our lives within that framework, realizing how fleeting life can be. We can’t dwell on death; no, we must dwell on LIFE, friends. That's not depressing to me, it's a fact. The reality of death should not make tomorrow look grim; it should make today look beautiful.

Childhood Abuse – The Monster Behind The Curtain
Over time I was able to begin working through my past, and today I’ve made peace with most of it, but the demons of yesteryear nearly sabotaged my entire existence. I understand the monster behind the curtain; I’ve listened in fear to the raspy breath of the beast on the other side of the door. The thought of opening up old wounds is sickening, disgusting, I get it, but if you don’t, at some point the creature will claw through the walls you’ve erected, and destroy you.

My Family of Warriors
I come from a long line of warriors, determined to fight the agony of that darkness which seeks to devour our entire existence, until God gives us permission to lay down our weapons. Quitting is not an option. We've slowed down, sure, but we won't stop. For you see, victory is the only dream worth pursuing.

An Impossible Tale of Heartbreak and Love
Don’t let anyone tell you something is hopeless. My God is the God of the impossible, and loves to prove it to us every now and again. Simply because He can.

One Day, When War Is No More
Most days offer anything but peace. One day, however, all the misery, pain, depression, anxiety, worry, fear and sleepless nights will be over. One day, we will have true peace, when God has permanently established His kingdom, forever to live with His people. All fighting between nations will end; never again will anyone train for battle because war itself will be abolished. Now THAT’S peace, and it’s coming.

“We All Go A Little Mad Sometimes”
I went through a period of a few months when I literally felt I was going insane, simply because of pain and its residual effects. I’d love to tell you I’ve found some magical cure or pill for this problem. I haven’t. All I have is a stubborn resolve to never give up.
