We are meant to be with other people. God said this early in Genesis: “It is not good for man to be alone.” Personally I enjoy being with others.

In the sixties hippies formed communes and lived together as a cohesive community. They shared everything, and I mean everything.

Some sick people have perverted the idea of community. Jim Jones comes to mind, but there are many others. These people take advantage of people’s desire to be led. If we are called to lead, we must lead with honor and fidelity.

Isolation has shredded mental health. Now there are some who remain afraid to be with others. Encourage them.

If you haven’t heard from someone in a while, pick up the phone and give them a call. You will be glad you did…
