    That was so good! Thank you so much. Almost every sentence was edifying. I wrote out 3 pages of helpful things you said. We must keep a sensitivity to sin. Godliness will keep us from the pollutions of the world which cause us to error. Thank you. I have just found this church and have been studying it. I love it and it is what I have been looking for. I will visit soon.

    Gary, You make a good point. I've visited many older men who felt alone and needed encouragement. When I was a child my Dad would take me with him to visit a widower who was alone. I still treasure the memories of listening to them share stories. Sometimes it helps when you are alone to reach out to someone who is just as isolated as you are. This way both of you can benefit from each other's company. We live in a high paced, technological world where it is easy for people to feel isolated. Fortunately, God says He will never leave us.

    James wrote to visit orphans and widows. In our modern day, there are others who could be mentioned. Old bachelors with few friends, and no family. i feel like i am a fatherless. as my human father never wanted kds, especially me, the last born. He resented me and tried to have an uncle adapt tme. I know I caused him much grief and pain, too. I was there for him the final six years of his life, and i think we made some peace the finals severl months. But, most of my life, i had a very negative relationship with my father, and felt fatherless. or worse. Yet, I have visited the widows, and helped other poor lonely men, and helped care of a quadriplegic man in the church in Seattle, 1990'S. gave him rides to services 6 yrs, and other appointments. I have always struggled all my life, though, feeling fatherless, and no mate either. Pets are my best friends now. So, I wish the chur4ch would realize that many alone men are lonely and forgotten, also. In James' day, there was no social programs like modern times. Today, many widows have better incomes, and homes, or apartments. Many adult men are like orphans, having had alcoholic, harsh dads, no dads. Orphans
