Whose responsibility is it to take a stand on mental health issues? Is God concerned about our mental well being? Well, I would have said no to all of these questions because when I was seeking help no one came to my aide. Instead I had to be my own advocate and support system after my mom's death. So in view of that I am once again attempting to launch a campaign for mental illness awareness in America. In view of that please feel free to stop by my new website designed to serve as a platform of expression to those who suffer with mental illness. This group is designated for people of African descent but it is open to all those concerned individuals who want to see positive, productive change on mental health issues in America.

This website is also a means of marketing and promoting the production of my future book. I hope that you stop by the site and check it out.

Taking it all back
The purpose of my blog is to help believers incorporate the realities of “spiritual warfare” with everyday life, thereby securing spiritual victories where they count the most – in the arena that God has given to us.
This is in my spirit, the Lord and his words, and I feel an urgency to tell the Believers to really look closly at the scriptures and know that it isn't only scripture, but the spirit of God calling them to a life of victory and not fear, shame, or defeat. We will not accept defeat if we are going to overcome the World with Faith!
When I look back on my life and my battle with mental illness I thank God for Jesus because he has kept me balanced mentally despite of my chronic mental illness. I can not help but thank and praise God for his goodness and mercy and I thank God for Jesus death on the cross and the fact that I am healed by his stripes.

I am so excited about my new book that will be coming out shortly through Amazon.com and also through createspace.com the publisher I am working with.

My story and battle with mental illness is a very important one because the mentally challenged are the most misunderstood and the most despised. The stigma is so great i America. I have been through alot with my illness but God is faithful.

The advertisement that will be on the website is as follows:

The conquest of the new world, has precedent in the bible, such as the book of Ezekial.
Ee gads. In California everyone is either an attorney or plays golf with one. It is a legalistic quagmire. Frivalous lawsuits abound. Yet the really important and serious stuff gets toally ignored by judges and these critically significant cases get dismissed.

Why?

Could it be because judges are more concerned with building their own careers than they are with safeguarding basic American freedoms? Could it be that judges are no longer owning their roles as keeper of traditions of doctrines of fair play and moralistic values in America?

I don't really know, I just posit possibilities.
