I was looking through some old papers a while ago and found a quote from a sermon I had heard, "Lone Rangers are Dead Rangers." This got me thinking about my post, "In the harbour". Not a good idea to be heading out to the open sea without other fishing buddies. As Ecclesiastes 4:12 puts it, "Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken."We need fishing buddies for defense and preventitive maintenance.
As I heard from a sermon that was about loneliness: to overcome loniless, build bridges, not walls. It's hard to make friends when you are surrounded by walls. I have been reminded recently that if I am waiting for somebody to call me to say something like, "Hey man! What's going on?"It's not going to happen. I have to put my engineer hat on and start building bridges. You can call me Tonka Joe, from Tonka Joe Construction. Gotta go, I am expecting a delivery of steel girders.
