Depressd?

Have you been feeling blue?

Well according to some experts, January 19, 2009 was the most depressing day in HISTORY!

In particular for places like England, where they are not only facing cold, miserable weather, but also having to deal with shattered New Year resolutions, fast faded mellow-Christmas memories and worse, a really bad downturn in their economy.

To make matters worse, being depressed makes you susceptible to colds and flus.

It was expected that millions will feel so miserable and sick that they will call in sick, deciding to stay in bed instead.

This is all through research of course. There is even a mathematical formula for working this out, based on six depressive factors!

It is just as well that the Bible teaches us that a merry heart does good like medicine. Also, it tells us that when we are not wise in our own eyes, when we fear the Lord and depart from wisdom, we have health in our flesh and strength in our bones. (Proverbs 1:13; 3:7) In Philippians 4:4-9 also has powerful gems for a good life. In fact, it talks about how to have a positive mindset, how to be cheerful and how to be at peace.

Pretty much like the news article quoting all these specialists actually...

But it was already written in the Bible centuries ago. There is no need to consult these specialists.

Just consult THE Specialist.
