The Weekend Message  
Graphic for Life of a Disciple
 
The third installment of our series examines of one of the biggest challenges we face in our world.  Anxiety and loneliness fill our hearts daily.  Concerns about the economy, our children, our relationships, the environment and on and on make it difficult for everyone.  For others, being far away from friends and family causes a sense of loneliness that challenges us.  Does a disciple simply deal with this like the rest of the world?  Or is there a more excellent way?
