Thank you for posting it! I just discovered Paul Washer admits to struggling with depression also. I wonder if he will elaborate on this in the future? <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEgHu48SuZg" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEgHu48SuZg</a> There was also a conversation between John Macarthur and John Piper wherein Piper admitted to having long times of depression. Apparently (from reports I heard) Macarthur's reaction to this admission was such that it almost looked as if he had never gone through anything quite like this. Beautiful reminder. Thank you for posting it!

Also, I notice that Dr. Beverly Yahnke works at a "CHRISTIAN Counseling Center!" Sorry to be off-topic.

I was sitting here this morning, as most days this season, trying to figure out how to "act" happy this year. Put on the fake "Wal-mart" face as my friend calls it. So many times I've asked for Christ's coming and "get to the good stuff" as you put it. Thank you for this meaning-filled Christ centered post. Blessings to you, and may be filled with an extra measure of strength these next few months to finish the race gracefully. And yes.....all pastors deserve a medal by the time Easter Sunday is at it's end. Theresa Very good!
