Two quotes in one of our local papers, NORTHERN NEWS, JULY 20, 2011, are having my full attention.

The Grey Power national president says:

“‘ I’ts amazing how many people are reliant on the television for company. A lot of older people in particular don’t go out very much and will watch all day.'”

The other quote is by a member of Grey Power:

“‘A lot of people get very lonely.'”

The quotes are taken from the article called “Elderly may get help with digital TV.”

I have never been a friend of TV. I rather read a book. That’s why we don’t have TV in our home.

One of the books I really like to read is the Bible. I am reliant on the Bible for company and not the television. The Bible, the Word of the Living God, is my companion. The Bible is my handbook. The Bible is my guidebook.

In the Bible I am reading about the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ says in the Bible:

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  Matthew 28:20

I believe that and that’s why I don’t get very lonely!
