Life has a hold on you—forever

INGRID PESCHKE, STAFF EDITOR

Suicide, Maybe it's touched you personally. Maybe not. But in a way, this topic confronts us all—whether we are touched by it in the news, in our neighborhoods, our homes, or as a subtle thought in our own consciousness. Either way, it deserves prayerful consideration.

I happen to know that the German word for suicide is Selbstmorde, or "self-murder." The thing is, most of us would never consider an act as unthinkable as murder.
