Read this today on muddy spirituality...
We have a young man with schizophrenia who lives with us, he has been going so well for about 3 months. Then within a week he had a sudden change, the only thing close to describing it is that the lights went off…
Things became very tense and we requested that the hospital take him in, which they did very quickly as he has been extremely violent in the past. When he was taken in he was threatening me through messages, that he was going to kill me, probably with an axe.
We cleared out his room to look for things that were missing from the house and I found 3 axes hidden in his clothing and my bowels sank a little, then we got a call from the hospital that he had escaped – I needed new jocks!
Footnote: He never came that day and has since apologized, his treatment is going well, and it looks he will move in once again under treatment.
His family have given up on him, someone has to be there for men like him, I know Jesus sure would be, so who are we to say no?
Made me think... boy does my heart have a way to go!
