  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Thanks so much for all the prayers everyone! i have definitely felt the prayers tonight. Both my husband and i are atleast at a place of peace and we have been able to put this in Gods hands and ask God to take care of Joey. I dont know how this will all play out but i trust that God has his hand on my son! I ask for further prayers for Gods guidance, Gods will in this situation, and continued peace for mike and I. I also ask for continued prayers that joey stay medicated no matter what happens. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! hugggs.

My 18 yr old son has Schizo-affective disorder. He is on depakote for the mania/depression, and he is on Abilify to keep away delusions/hallucinations. He has decided he doesnt want to have a curfew and doesnt want to have any rules and he MOVED OUT today! he has no money, no car, no job, but he moved in with a friend. He left my house with the clothes on his back and his two bottles of medicine. He told me he is going to look for a job and stay with his friend till he can get an apt. He is very clueless about reality right now. Did i mention he walked out of my house with his two bottles of MEDS!!

Please pray he takes his meds everyday while he is gone. Please pray nothing bad happens..that he doesnt end up in jail or back in the mental hospital. If he misses one day of his meds...bad things will happen. He becomes violent when off the meds. Please pray for the safety of my family! and please pray he doesnt lose his meds!

Hi Karen,

I can imagine your worry love as I work with clients like this, I know to you it probably seems like anything could happen to Joey. But although its hard I want you to look at something positive, he must have found somewhere to stay, and if hes returning home just for his meds etc it shows he is still taking them. People with this illness have bouts of this and honestly depekote isnt dangerous, I pray that his mind will settle, and you will recieve some peace that he will be fine. Amen

:pray:

Thanks so much for all the prayers and i would appreciate continued prayer support! My husband and i both are feeling VERY at Peace and that God will take care of my son, since i won't be there to do it!! Joey came home and he seemed fine which means he DID take his meds all on his own yesterday. He packed a duffle bag with all his clothes and other belongings, he showered, we gave him $20 and he left. i dont know exactly when i will see him next...but thankfully he has to come here sometime in the next 8 days to pick up more of the abilify because the prescription will run out. He does have a cell phone so i can contact him when i need to! i made sure he had the phone charger with him. I don't know how this will all play out, but i am putting all my trust and faith in God right now!! Thanks everyone!

O Wonderful God, Your Hand is upon our dear brother Joey, even at this moment, surrounding him with Your Protection, with Your Compassion and Grace. Thank You O Lord, that You have given to him a mother and a father who care for him, who pray over him, who love him. Continue to give to them peace, for though he is not with them, You are always with him. Lord God, let this young man not stray from the way that he was brought up, let the world not grab hold of him, nor decieve him, but let Your Ways be firmly planted in him mind, controlling his actions. Lord God, let him find a job that will bring him joy, let opportunities arise for this young man that will bring him into Your Purpose for him, defining his character, renewing his faith in You. O Lord, watch over Joey, let him never be out of Your Presence. In the Mighty name of Jesus Christ i pray, Amen
