To Our Readers

Russ Gerber

Was that popular song from the 1970s right? Is one the loneliest number?

That depends on your perspective. One person, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with scores of other commuters waiting to board a crowded train, may still feel lonely. By the same token, one person standing alone on a mountain ridge early in the morning, listening to the birds sing and watching the sunrise, may feel that he or she is a special guest, being given the best seat in the house for a display that only the creator of the universe could orchestrate. Being "alone" with God is as far from loneliness as anyone can be.

OK, then what does it take to feel the presence of God, divine Love? Do we need to head to the nearest mountaintop? Figuratively speaking, that's not a bad idea. A higher perspective, a spiritual one, changes everything. This week's Cover Story, "Healing the lonesome heart," is a good trail to follow if you're wanting such a vantage point. Author Channing Walker tells of God's tender mercies, working in every heart, and how God's love is both expressed and felt by us, no matter where we are or what our circumstances happen to be.
