All Alone! Whether you like it or not, Alone will be something you'll be quite a lot. And when you're alone, there's a very good chance you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.

Don't magnify your problems, magnify your God...he's got you covered.

It is the breaking of life that produces the blessing of life.
