My thought this week has been on being alone and loneliness. Two words that can have opposite meanings. I am alone here in my room and it is a good time to reflect and concentrate on my writing. Jesus needed to be alone at times “and He withdrew Himself into the wilderness, and prayed” (Luke 5:16). We all need to be alone from time to time to pray and restore our thinking.
Faithfully yours - You never really know

He was only 55 years of age. He had risen at his usual time on the morning of December 28, and sat down at his computer. He died suddenly and unexpectedly shortly thereafter. Phil (his real name) was born in Nigeria, Central Africa. His parents were Christian missionaries in the neighboring country of Chad. After completing his public schooling (part of it in Africa, the rest in Alberta) and Bible College in Saskatchewan, Phil applied for and was accepted as a member of the RCMP. He retired six years ago after a distinguished career as a peace officer.
