In the university of life, some courses are required of us.  Some we may choose, but others are required.

Life itself is a required course in which we have no say. We did not choose to be born, but now that we are here, we can do nothing about it. We have to live. There is no escaping. You cannot destroy yourself. Life does not end at death. The story of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16 proves this. You had a beginning, but there is no ending. You must exist somewhere from now on.

LaRue Baptist Church will host its third annual “Biker Sunday” Aug. 4.

The event has draw about 100 motorcycles each year, said Judy Bottoms, who, in the past, has organized the event with her dad, Charles Allen.

This year, Biker Sunday is dedicated in memory of Allen, who passed away in May at the age of 73. Allen was a truck driver and became ill while on an out-of-state run. He also was a U.S. Army veteran.

“This year will really be hard on me,” said Bottoms.

Loneliness is no respecter of persons. People may turn to drink, lose their sanity, and commit suicide because of the despair of loneliness. How many lonely people there are today!

God did not create man to live in miserable inner loneliness. Jesus came to restore fellowship between man and God, and to take away human loneliness. Jesus Christ will take away loneliness from your soul. He will be your companion and friend.
