Sovereignty of God
I was just reading in my book today about the sovereignty of God. The sovereignty of God is the idea that God is the ruler of creation and has the right to exercise his power over it. In the past it was an easy one to answer as I simply refused to believe in God…

Beholding
I’ve read 4 chapters of my Christian book ‘Beholding‘. It was a struggle initially as the author kept trying to make the point that God and prayer shouldn’t be a transactional relationship. I had no issues with this as I’ve become less pleased with the greed of capitalism. I don’t like transactional relationships at all…

Reflections on Anti-psychotics
I was thinking what it’s like being on a high dose of anti-psychotics to a low dose/none. I am different between both. On a low dose I have a sense of adventure and push myself too hard. Sometimes I feel bulletproof and have to be careful of not pushing myself to crashing. On a higher…

Thoughts on Communion
I do appreciate participating in Holy Communion at Church on Sundays. I find with my condition and unemployment I am stigmatised and demonised by much of the media and thus society. Confessing our sins each week at Communion helps me let go of such negativity and ill feeling. Eating the bread and drinking the wine…

Typical Days
I had a nice day today. Exactly what I needed. I went for a short walk and stayed alone at home. Watched Television, mainly dogs, The Simpsons and sometimes news on in background. I did reading of CS Lewis in Christianity. Will do some Bible reading shortly and prayers. That’s how most of my days…

Hidden Suicide?
I have often blogged about my own episodes of psychosis, autism and mental illness experiences on Twitter and on this blog. The people I follow and naturally the algorithm serves up news of other peoples death by suicide, neglect or other reasons. Quite often I have noticed people that have killed themselves have had their…

Austerity and Stoicism
Since the banking crisis of 2008, times have became increasingly more difficult for many people in Britain and the world. Since 2010 the “free at the point of use” NHS has declined as a health service where it is no longer number 1 in the world for many categories. The NHS waiting list was around…

I had my probation appointment. Only lasted 5 mins. My regular staff member wasn’t there but I had the same person as last time. I was told my regular person hasn’t left just not in today. Hopefully next time.
1/2
I have probation this afternoon. I’m hoping it’s the regular person I see though I haven’t seen her since November. I get rather anxious now because it could be a different person again. Anyhow the meetings usually go quick.
