No Smoking

Anyone with psychiatric or drug problems ,wealthy or not, ends up at this hospital on a 3 day hold, before moving on to other hospitals.

On my first day working at this hospital, I was surprised to see how all the patients were addicted to cigarettes. Everyone here looks forward to their smoke breaks that includes nurse and doctors. There is a smoke break for 10 min on every hour of the day.

I was shocked to see how the some patients sold cigarette's for $1.00 a piece to wealthy inpatients. Some nurses bribed uncooperative patients into taking their medication by offering cigarettes. Worse yet, Chain smoking Doctors taking a some break every hour.

Are we taking care of those who are unstable or are we aiding them in their demise

Live or Die We Are Back

 Dear Readers,

We have not posted for a long time, don't worry we are back. Atma and I had to take a break from posting, as the topics on our blog seemed controversial to some of our readers. We were being persecuted for writing about our Christian beliefs, it wasn't safe for us to speak our mind. Our church elders advised us to stop blogging. Had we received the support of our brothers and sisters we would have continued to write. But sadly, we did not get the support we were looking. It seems denominational lines became more important than the principles. With a heavy heart we decided to give the blog a break and actually get out and work with the people who needed us the most.


In America we send missions to the rest of the world but what happens to the lost in our own land. We seem to think of our self as a Christina nation but are we?


I moved out from the west coast to the midwest and started working, never forgetting my purpose and sharing my belief for Him whenever an opportunity was presented. Atma continued to do what he was called for back west.


We will write about some of our encounters and the hurdles we faced.
