Try watching "The Morning Show" instead. They're fictional characters, so it's okay to hate them, LOL. I've often gone to social media for an "escape," but it hardly ever gives me the relief I'm looking for. I appreciate what you said about needing someone to blame though. That's a real thing. I think it's good you're choosing to process some emotions here. Keep it up! I look forward to reading more.
Love this Andrew. Thank you my friend and brother. I’m reminded of several of my favorite grace livers while reading your letters. We forget to walk a different way, not if pride in our different-ness but in humility about knowing ourselves and the love and care of our Father. Bless you and the fam.
In Steve Brown's book A Scandalous Freedom, there is a chapter called 'Enemies, and the Power We Give Them.' I'm always reminded of the unnecessary power we give away for no good reason. In my last 9 months of battling pancreatic cancer, I've settled upon the truth that the daily news is stunningly unimportant. Love one another now carries the day.
Bless you Andy. May the Lord bless you and keep your family. My family went through doors similar to these with my dad in April. I see you.
Thank you for your words, they express wisdom I wish more people would seek out. The ability to just wonder about the world and those in it feels like a dying skill. I’ve been reading “See No Stranger” by Valerie Kaure. Valerie is Sikh, but she expresses principles that cross over well with the message of Christ. What she expresses as “wonder” of the human experience could just as easily be translated to seeing the Imago Dei in everyone and praying for them, friend or foe.
Praying peace, health, and strength for your family today. May you never see that elevator again.
Yes. We lived in the “kingdom of the sick” when my oldest son was young and had all sort of unknown conditions that caused us to stay in pediatric hospitals for extended periods of time. It forever changes you.
Your last sentence is freaking genius and should be in a song.

Thanks for this - it’s a good reminder of a needed perspective shift, no matter where we are in life. Praying on you guys!
