....but one unfortunate phrase in the article is "Help someone else off a cliff." OK, I know he meant Help someone else back away from the cliff, but I couldn't help smiling a touch and thinking "brother, that's exactly what we shouldn't do, no?"

I've recently met a couple of people who have noticed that many/most churches really don't know what to do with mental illness, which is a huge shame, because so many of the people who visit us do struggle with it, especially those asking for help.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
