I believe you are right and I think MANY people are lonely in our traditional American way. As He said, we are not meant to be alone. What a wonderful thing that you are able to experience how life should be according to Him, no matter how hard it may be at times. We are all "aliens" here on this earth but with Him we belong together. Take Care.

I remember being impressed at how sharing and living together is such a normal part of life in Korea (and China) and thinking that we as Americans have so very much to learn.
