Sad on so many levels

by Heidi Schlumpf on Jan. 07, 2010

This reported today in Chicago: A newly ordained priest of the Joliet, Illinois Diocese, who had been raised in an orphanage in Bolivia, attempted suicide Wednesday by jumping from a church balcony after being accused on Sunday of sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy. The 37-year-old priest suffered serious head trauma and is in intensive care. He had been placed on administrative leave while the allegations were investigated. No charges had been filed yet.

Satan is called the accuser

Satan is called the accuser for good reason and many people operate in just this manner. They are highly skilled at building false realities. Despair is inevitable when you know that perception will trump reality no matter what.
