And I would add, someone with friends finds it easier not to be a failure. At some point, all of us need support from friends. We pray and seek God's wisdom and try to rest in his care, but even then, it's good to have someone standing beside you when life is tough. I see this with blended family couples with stressful circumstances. If they can vent to a friend or small group and find support, they can keep going and get some lift to their wings. Atta boy, Clarence!

Ron: And I would add, someone with friends finds it easier not to be a failure. Everyone needs a friend to hang out with and laugh with, sure, but all of us, at one point or another, need support from friends. I mean, life is hard.
