Over twenty years ago, as an unhappy man who believed in Jesus Christ and thought he was a Christian on account of it, “I, [Bill Logan], looked up to heaven [and saw God and his children in the message about his firstborn son, Jesus Christ], and my mind came [...] to me. I thanked the Most High, and I praised and honored the one who lives forever, because his power lasts forever and his kingdom lasts from one generation to the next. Everyone who lives on earth is nothing compared to him. He does whatever he wishes with the army of heaven and with those who live on earth. There is no one who can oppose him or ask him, “What are you doing?” Just then my mind came [...] to me” and I saw the truth that all of the children fathered by God are the Holy Spirit in human form, like Jesus, and that I belong to God’s family of spirits – that I am one of those chosen by God to know themselves and one another as spirits like their Father, and not as humans. The healing began… and continues to this day. “Now I, [Bill Logan], will praise, honor, and give glory to the King of Heaven. Everything he does is true, his ways are right, and he can humiliate those who act arrogantly.” (quotations from Daniel 4.34-37, GodsWord)
More Money, Less Suicide?
Suicides rise and fall with economy: CDC report | Reuters.
CHICAGO | Thu Apr 14, 2011 1:17pm EDT (Reuters) – Suicides in the United States ebb and flow with the economy, rising in bad times and falling in good, researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday.
It is an important finding for policy makers and those working to prevent suicide.
This is ”an important finding” only to those who think that one can take one’s own life, and that one’s economic circumstances are the origin of the thought that one will eliminate one’s problems by attempting to do so.
To those who think that this is “an important finding”, the solution for the prevention of suicide is more of the “policy” which is causing it. Believing the lie that more money equals less suicide is a lie that separates one from God, who is one’s life. The rejection of his point of view is suicide.
(Why are taxpayers paying the “center” for the control and prevention of disease to study the effect of the economy on suicide anyway? Is the economy a disease? The suicidal taxpayer is giving “the center” money to make the finding that the taxpayer is suicidal because he doesn’t have enough money. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for the people who are allegedly governing themselves.)
Update: It was brought to my attention that suicide is considered by “the center” to be a disease, and that this justifies its study of the effect of the economy on the suicide rate of its sponsor. To my way of thinking this simply makes my point that those of this world do not share God’s point of view.

This bit of satire from The Onion is hilarious, particularly if you share my disdain for social networking. CIA’s ‘Facebook’ Program Dramatically Cut Agency’s Costs | Onion News Network. (I particularly like the comment about all of the tweets and not one useful bit of information.)
