Re: Mental health recovery after CF.

By the time I started school I had strong suicide ideation.

Re: The Nature Of Our Fellowship

(insert Elton John boogie) This made me lol Thanks for the encouragement. It is hard to fight the inertia of deeply ingrained traditions. Someone recently shared a song by Keith Green called "So you want to go back to Egypt?" which kind of hit home for me. In some ways it would have been ...

Re: The Nature Of Our Fellowship

We can aspire to have a certain image of ourselves. Because of our anxieties, we contrive to be something that will be acceptable, but that is not how we meet in true fellowship, is it? The quote above is almost nearly spot on; anxiety is allegedly rife within the RFI archipelago. Unfortunately, Ka...
