    Thank you for the comment. I can only read books written in English.

    Hi Johnny, would you be able to make a video about your life as a father, especially in the first 10 years or so? Sorry to ask but I'm a father of 3 children, ages 9, 6 and 5. At present I'm really struggling to cope and am dealing with depression and severe anxiety. I have watched your videos for many years and am quite the same person in many ways. Sorry again for reaching out. Gary.

    When our children were small we were in Bible College and Seminary. Back in those days my wife worked part-time as a Nurse and I went to school Bible College and then Seminary I went to classes and then worked for the Seminary Grounds Crew-mowing lawns etc. . . I did suffer from depression and ulcer's-but I was able to function/the Lord kept me going. I think that I suffer from chronic depression and anxiety but not to the extend it has stopped me from finishing college and seminary, working for 14 years in a Egg Processing plant. I have been blessed by a Christian wife who has supported me for 45 years through my bouts of depression. At this stage of my life (be 72 years old in August) I live a very confine life on purpose to protect myself from negative feelings. Going back to our children when they were little my wife was always there for them and my depression did not prevent me from being a loving supportive father. Not implying I could have been more loving and supportive. Raising children is a lot of work and self-denial. My wife and I always sought to raise our children in a stable loving home. We raised our children seeking to raise them as Christian parents. I would urge you to seek professional help. Three years ago I started seeing a Psychologist every four weeks and that has been some help. For me what helps is living a life of prayer. Do not feel sorry about reaching out to me. For me my help comes from the Lord. That is all I can tell you being truthful.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to write these words. I keep thinking if I can just get through the next 5 years, once they are all that little bit older things will be different. I just want them to have the most happy and loving childhood. Maybe if I had some friends to talk to it would help I don't know. I think maybe that I'd like to find out about Jesus but am completely clueless about where to begin. My dad took his own life in 2020 and I don't know how to feel about that, except for anger. He was the most kind and loving father any son could wish for and I was so lucky and fortunate to have him in my life. Sorry am rambling on here. Thank you again for the reply and for all the videos you've made through the years. They help me with life so much at times.
