Happy hump day eve!
Only missed one.
“You got 5 out of 10
Movie of the weak!”
Hai Luvie! (((HUGS))) Well since I watch retro TV at times I got 8/10 ...
Bible in a Year:
Two are better than one . . . If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.
The hurt of feeling alone isn’t new to our day. Indeed, the pain of isolation echoes off the pages of the ancient book of Ecclesiastes. Often attributed to King Solomon, the book captures the sorrow of those who seem to lack any meaningful relationships (4:7–8). The speaker lamented that it’s possible to acquire significant wealth and yet experience no value from it because there’s no one to share it with.
But the speaker also recognized the beauty of companionship, writing that friends help you accomplish more than you could achieve on your own (v. 9); companions help in times of need (v. 10); partners bring comfort (v. 11); and friends can provide protection in difficult situations (v. 12).
Loneliness is a significant struggle—God created us to offer and receive the benefits of friendship and community. If you’re feeling alone, pray that God would help you form meaningful connections with others. In the meantime, find encouragement in the reality that the believer is never truly alone because Jesus’ Spirit is always with us (Matthew 28:20).
Reflect & Pray
How might you reach out to someone who’s lonely? How have you experienced the blessing of God’s Spirit with you when you’ve felt alone?
Heavenly Father, when I feel lonely, give me courage to reach out to others with an offer of friendship.
10/10

Ruh-roh! I guess you need to watch more late-night movies. :)
Howdy Rus! Good to see you, as always. Thanks for our beautiful lesson from God’s Word!
Awesome! You must watch a lot of TV! :)
Great result! Are TV movies a favorite of yours?
No but I was 11 thru 20 in the 70s with antenna tv.
10 out of 10, but I guessed on a bunch of them...
9 out of 10
woohoo!
Missed one, but had to guess on 2 and got lucky.
I guessed correctly on a couple but the rest were in my sweet spot. Watched a lot of television during the 70’s.
