A day at the psych ward

We spent a good portion of the day at a psych ward in the cities. I have to admit, I am a bit fascinated every time we go to one (yes, we hang with some interesting people). I look around at the people there and wonder what is their story? I see the desperation and desolation in their eyes. Intriguing, yes, and sobering too. One woman there went ballistic and we even felt like we could be in harms way (she was eyeballing us and even bumped into my mom when the staff was trying to get her controlled)....In a place like this, it is easy to lose heart and feel hopeless with what you see. Yet even these are not beyond the reach of our Jesus.
