Here is a picture of the white board in my Old Testament class.Yeah….tell me about it.

A take on abortion, gay marriage, and politics.
It was Rose’s birthday yesterday. I took the day off of work. We had a great day and we saw Juno, which I would recommend. It was a solid movie.
Is it possible to be a progressive evangelical?
Huck can pack it up because it is over. Kind of sad that Romney can almost hate McCain and then endorse him.
Apparently what people want in a spouse and choose in a spouse are two different things.
Catholics aren’t happy that Hillary is having a rally at St. Mary’s. It just goes to show that abortion is a political hot bed.
There is speculation about the NIU shooter and the role his medication played. He stopped taking the medication a few days ago. I can’t help but wonder if there will be laws introduced for people who are deemed mentally unstable. I don’t know that you can make a person take their medications but it sure seems like that played a big role in this tragedy.

Hey thanks for your thoughts and comment.

Food for thought: many medications that can be reduce agitation/distress/violence for one person can increase the likelihood of agitation/distress/violence in another. Just read the ‘possible side effects’ lists of many of the drugs used to treat mental health abnormalities. It is often not known until the person tries the medication which way they will react to it.

Hey I totally agree. I was just trying to point out the role medication played in these murders. It just seems like if his falling a part had something to do with not taking medication, that something more needs to be done to make sure people take the medication that need it. I have no problem with people who take or don’t take medications. I think God has blessed us with doctors who are able to help us in many ways, but that guy put others in danger by not taking his medication (obviously there was other things involved too). You are right on though, the effects of medications is really really hard to judge.
