Team Jesus, please for for Pastor Bryan Dunagan’s family and congregation.

New details emerged this week regarding the unexpected death of a Presbyterian pastor in Texas who died last October at age 44.
Bryan Dunagan, who served a decade as senior pastor of the 5,500-member Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, passed away in his sleep on Oct. 26 during the early morning hours, according to a public statement from the church at the time.
Dr. Robert J. Burke, an anesthesiologist who also serves as an elder at the church, issued a statement Tuesday explaining that Dunagan died as a result of mixing alcohol with therapeutic doses of anti-anxiety medication and a painkiller. More Here
My heart breaks……..we have created a society that is suffering from much anxiety. Do not hesitate to get help from a medical doctor. Do not be embarrassed about it. This mess we are in, has caused me to have anxiety at times, as I see the downfall of America including the Church right before my eyes everyday, starting at 3am at the news desk. I am thankful that Pastor Dunagan spoke about his own anxiety to his congregation.
Be careful when taking any medicine.
Mixing Alcohol With Medicines: It also can put you at risk for internal bleeding, heart problems, and difficulties in breathing. In addition to these dangers, alcohol can make a medication less effective or even useless, or it may make the medication harmful or toxic to your body. More Here
