Suicides:

The picture shows a young man who killed many people and killed himself some years ago in the United States of America. But do you wonder why people commit suicide or even contemplate it?
Nearly 80% of persons who commit suicide, give definite warnings and/or clues about their suicidal intentions. Suicidal persons are fully intent on dying. Although a suicidal person is often extremely unhappy, he/she is not necessarily mentally ill. The management of suicide, therefore, lies in preventing the act. Please take all suicidal threats, gestures and/or attempts from anyone you know seriously. Make sure you notify a psychiatrist or a mental health professional. The psychiatrist will quantify the seriousness of the situation and take proper precautionary measures. Save a life today. But for those of us who believe in the awesome power of God, we can take it to the Lord in prayer. Judas Iscariot committed suicide because of the despair of betraying the innocent God-made-man, Jesus Christ. But even when we sin against God, and our hearts convict us the Holy Bible tells us that God is greater than our hearts and can and will forgive the sins we commit if only we repent, confess and receive His mercy like the lesson Jesus taught us in the parable of the prodigal son. Suicide is as grievous as murder, but in it there is no repentance, because after death is judgment; there is no repentance in the grave! Truly save a life today and show love to someone who is considering suicide.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others.

A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
