Young men and women have the privilege of developing gifts and talents alongside other students in an atmosphere that serves as the transition place between "home" and the "real world." <br /><br />For a brief season, I was blessed to share life with some incredible people, like Jack Handy. I forged friendships that shaped who I am. While I would never ask to relive my PC experience, I do wish that I would have maintained a connection to a handful of people from that wonderful season of my life.<br /><br />Your post is beautifully written. Last Sunday my sermon series led me to breach the subject of how Christians can respond to mental illness. I have more questions than answers as to how we can bless the Jack Handy's of the world; however, I believe that God-honoring relationships are a vital part of the process.<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />CHAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14305119321247583147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3350073291884098138.post-13447945063691681372015-10-21T11:04:32.975-04:002015-10-21T11:04:32.975-04:00Thanks for this article, Rhett.

I wish he had not rejected my friendship out of hand so long ago. I am still puzzled by that. I had often wished to catch up with him, meet his family, and enjoy his friendship. Perhaps one day it can be renewed in the Kingdom.Gene Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11857950858852381609noreply@blogger.com
