The longer the day, the more people get out and about. Except those who are depressed, who feel all the more cut off from the rest of society.

What is the same statistic for the Southern Hemisphere?<BR/><BR/>I've been pondering the experience of the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40), a man literally cut off from the ancient social world defined by the family. Something in his experience connects with Isaiah's description (53:7-8) of the 'Suffering Servant,' providing an opening for God.<BR/><BR/>So I am thinking about connections between human experiences--even those beyond the pale of assumed everyday existence. This leads me to wonder...to what other human experiences does MDD connect? Or is it unique?JeremiahInIowahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02601818071256036567noreply@blogger.com
