I came across this site this morning, life edited.  (She doesn’t capitalize the letters.)  She has a post called “conversations with God”.  I wanted to share it.  I know I have had this same conversation many times.  I think it is very comforting and healing.  She is sharing her conversations with our God who loves [...]

Almost everyone I know, personally and professionally, has had a time or two in their lives when they have felt depressed.  Many of us have gone from feeling depressed to being depressed.
