Men's Group

For a group that spends it's time reading and discussing the Bible we laugh too much. I think it should be assumed that God would want us to feel better during and after our time together. One of the needs that Marsha and I found most in people was a need for community. It seems strange that while we live among so many people we can feel lonely. I've found that even some partners in marriage feel lonely. They live separate lives together often passing like the proverbial ships in the night. I am not suggesting that the church is the only place where people find community, but I have seen the dual benefit of a relationship with God and a relationship with God's friends being a winning combination for many peoples lives. On Facebook I have family friends but almost every other friend is from one of my church communities. Especially in this time after Marsha passed away, I have had an increased need for that community support. I find it at my church here in Myrtle Beach, and I find it in the desire of other friends around the country to care about what happening with me. I can still laugh at Bible study and elsewhere in life because although I miss my best friend, I still do have many others. What do lonely people do when they need support? How open are we in our busy lives to see the needs of the lonely? Look around, I'm sure someone you saw today needs someone to care about them. Could it be you?
