Last year, at my ladies' brunch, the theme was about the gifts that God gives us...to be used for His glory, with the ultimate gift being this: His only begotten Son, Jesus!
While I was preparing for that particulaer event, the Lord plopped this theme in my heart for this year! You Will Never Walk Alone.
I know loneliness. I think if all of us would be honest, we would say that we have each known it ourselves. It is a pretty rotten feeling, loneliness is. God did not make us for it, that much I am certain of.
Richard Jenkins, an actor's actor received his first nod from the Academy this past year; he did not win the coveted award. But, as they say, "To be nominated was an honor." I have watched this guy's career for many years, form the days when I was in theatre myself back in Providence, Rhode Island. He was a part of Trinity Repertory Theatre. I recall seeing him give a perfomance in a play called: The Suicide and it impacted me. It was about a guy who tried (dozens of time) to kill himself, but simply could not! He gained no success. I volunteered ushering so that I could see his performance as many times as possible. he was just really good. In fact, this company of actors was amazing! George Martin, Peter Gerrity, Margo Skinner and the list
