I read an interesting article yesterday which reported that Americans have fewer confidants--people with whom they confide and discuss important matters than they did 20 years ago. 25% of people surveyed in a study published last month in The American Sociological Review said they had no one to talk to about matters that were important to them.
I have said for years that America is a country with a "privacy-fence" mentality. We just don't get involved in the lives of people around us. Are Christian Americans any better? No.
Take a look around you. Are there people who need you, perhaps just to talk? Loneliness is a terrible disease. Christian fellowship could provide an antidote.
