We all have them.
Sometimes we have a series of them.

Deep Bible Reading...
I hate to admit it, but for many, many years, I did not enjoy reading the Bible.
I loved reading Christian nonfiction.
I regularly read Christian blogs.
I listen to several Christian podcasts.
But, to sit and read the Bible was a discipline. I read through the Bible, cover to cover, two or three times. Each time, I was grateful to have done so. Each time I learned. But, it was not the experience I wanted. I wanted the “I can’t wait to dig into the Word experience,” and it just wasn’t happening. I saw it in others. It wasn’t in me.
Loneliness--What You Can Do in a Pandemic
How to conquer loneliness in a pandemic.
I read a study this week that was completed by Cigna Insurance—back in January—before the pandemic heated up in America.
Even back then, when life still seemed “normal,” more than 60% of Americans reported feeling “lonely, left out, poorly understood, and lacking companionship.” Sixty percent! This is more than three in five Americans. My guess is that most of the industrialized countries see similar numbers. In America, that is an increase of 13% in loneliness in just two years.
