No Country for Old Men with a plot twist ✝️ @p82home • serving families affected by serious mental illness with @GeeslingMatthew • cowboy fast-draw

A THREAD 🧵 HOW DID WE GET HERE?

The day Decarlos Brown Jr. crossed paths with Iryna Zarutska on a NC light rail train ended in tragedy. Minutes later she was dead.

This was not an isolated event. It was the outcome of decades of broken policy on serious mental illness.

The IMD Exclusion is one of the quietest rules in Medicaid law yet it has fueled homelessness, incarceration & tragedy for decades. This thread traces how we got here & why it must end.

Just left a meeting at @samhsagov. The winds of change are here. No more permissive harm reduction. The nation is now focused on getting people off drugs, rebuilding families and promoting recovery. The days of the harm reductionist are in the rear view mirror. @KeithNHumphreys

Follow Jesus and you will be astonished by where he leads. ❤️

Like a muddied spring or a polluted fountain is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

Proverbs 25:26

Drove up to visit my parents for the night and my dad gifted me with a sun shade for my windshield that opens up like an umbrella from Temu.

There are perks to being the oldest daughter.

@DenverPandaBear Last time I checked, still had a brain.

Politicians spend money where there’s self interest. They discard those who cannot give anything back. Here’s the result:

• 77 percent NATL and 90 percent FAM groups believe the federal government spends too little to help with SMI.

•77 percent NATL and 90 percent FAM support increasing federal funding to treat serious mental illness even if it meant paying higher taxes.

Overwhelmingly, 78 percent of the NATL and 97 percent of FAM groups said they will more likely vote for a candidate who prioritizes mental health care.

@ofcrdeonjoseph Disgraceful.

Behold, this is how we treat the severely mentally ill.

Took a quick survey in an online group for families of severely mentally ill:

1. How many times has your loved one been hospitalized? #’s only

2. How many different housing situations? #’s only

3. Describe the filthiest housing situation you’ve encountered in three or four sentences.

If I were in a snarky mood, I’d make a post about how there is no blood test or genetic proof that dyslexia exists. Would this mean that the good folks at Crossway are becoming integrationists?

Oh…wait…

I have to mention that it was the most beautiful thing to hear my husband read the Bible so fluently for the first time in his life. I wish I video taped it. So remarkable, I’m amazed at what has been discovered on this front.

[Deborah Geesling @DeborahGeesling]

Is this not the coolest thing ever? Thank you @crossway for developing this Bible. An early Father’s Day present for my husband.
