Pastor Loses Battle With Depression

Most of the time I write positive posts but today's post is sad.

This week I read of a pastor in California who took his own life.  The young pastor left behind a wife three small boys and many grieving friends and family members.

Depression is real.  If you suffer from severe depression I encourage you to get professional help.  Some battles you simply cannot fight alone.  

One of my best friends who had served as pastor took his own life.  I grew up on a farm in South Georgia one of the most successful farmers in our community took his life.  Every day some one who is loved by others take their lives.  

The Lord has gifted people waiting and willing to help.  Please call them.  Don't let this get the best of you.
