Defensive detachment…
Posted by Terry Nelson on Jul 3rd, 2008
It’s a condition.
St. Peter knew it, as did the citizens of the Gadarenes… “Leave me Lord, for I am a sinful man”… “and when they saw him they begged Him to leave their district.” [Matthew 8:34]
Yeah - so I’ll be offline again today.

It’s something those living with SSA know all too well. Defensive detachment protects the self from further hurt (one hopes), but instead fosters alienation, compounding the problem.

I think of myself as the Lord’s foot fungus. I am painful, irritating, a little cracked , and hard to get rid of ,and yet I am always on his mind.
I will be faithful till the end,and then some.
