About this ebook
Praying without really caring for others is a waste of words. As we pray, simultaneously we should care for them by doing our best to help them spiritually, emotionally or simply arranging for food and shelter when needed, then we should pray. As Christianity charges believers with the obligation of caring for the suffering of others, and what could be worse than not reaching out and learning someone you knew committed suicide?

During that time, I served two volunteer tours in classified combat situations and flew more than 100 combat missions manning a .50 machine gun from the side-door of a Marine helicopter at the height of the war. After being promoted to Staff Sergeant (E-6), I requested Officer Candidate School. As a Signal Officer, I served in Field Artillery, Signal Battalions, and Recruiting Command. My last assignment was at the Pentagon with the Army Research & Development Agency.For the avid card players out there, I invented and offer TOSS Playing Cards, comprised of an eight-suited deck that plays every card game you know with more excitement and challenges. The deck can be reviewed at Toss.iWARP.com.Retired, I now serve as a Red Cross Disaster Services team member and Spiritual Care. Please, feel free to email any comments, favorable or not.

The Outward Ripples of Caring
Praying without really caring for others is a waste of words. As we pray, simultaneously we should care for them by doing our best to help them spiritually, emotionally or simply arranging for food and shelter when needed, then we should pray. As Christianity charges believers with the obligation of caring for the suffering of others, and what could be worse than not reaching out and learning someone you knew committed suicide?
Suicide can be thought of as a mental illness often manifested because of severe depression. Consider these telling statistics of the USA population:
In 2021 more than 47,600 people in the USA died of suicide.
More than 12.2 million adults seriously dwelled on suicide
More than 3.2 million adults made plans to commit suicide
More than 1.2 million adults attempted suicide
The number of suicides in 2021 was still lower than the all-time high of 48,000 plus in 2018.
The rate of men committing suicide was 3.9 times the female rate.
