I excitedly began scrolling through chose best bipolar disorder blogs.  There was the bipolar blog from Psych Central.  The psychcentral.com has a specific blog that I contribute to called Mental Health Discoveries.

2018 Best Blogs – Bipolar Disorder

Blog award dedicated to a Father and a Veteran

This weekend is perfect to dedicate this award to my late father, Don Pierce.  He was diagnosed with a mental illness called PTSD after serving in the Vietnam War as a Military Police officer.

I miss our times on the back deck talking about the latest in politics, cranking up the 70’s music station and asking questions about his tour in Vietnam.  My dad did not die in combat.  However, he died due to a combat-related medical issue.  I miss him.  I wish he were here on my tough days when I feel alone and the bipolar is overwhelming me.  I know he would not mind me leaning on him for strength.  Dad always had great advice.

I will see him real soon in Heaven which takes the sting out of the missing part of his absence in my life.  That makes me smile.

Scripture references to know you are saved

Romans 10:9, which says, “If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” 

Ephesians 2:8, which says, “It is by grace you have been saved, through faith.”
