Mark Twain once said, "The worst loneliness is not to be comfortable with oneself." In my point of view, I would say this refering to the fact that I'm not satisfied with something about myself that I can't change. This definitely applies to me in many areas. I am always trying to be better than someone else with the excuse, "I'm just turning myself into a better me." I know that the truth is I'm not satisfied with the way God made me. I would change many things in my life if I could, but God has a better plan for me than worrying about my looks. When you can never be satisfied with yourself, can you truely be satisfied with any friendship? The type of lonliness this brings is not literal but mental lonliness. You can be with friends and still be lonly if you can't admit to being who God wants you to be.
I enjoy being with friends and I also like to be alone to think about things and get my thoughts organized. I don't mind either one, but until I have been made to God's comlpete image and am satisfied in Him as who I am, I will always be lonly.

Hi Andy,
My name is Michael Hichborn, and I'm the media director for American Life League. I noticed that you have posted articles from us before in the past, and I was wondering if we could send out video releases to you for posting on your blog. I have recently established a regular webcast for American Life League, and I would be most honored if you would share it with your readers as they come out (every 2 weeks). If you are interested in this, please e-mail me at mhichborn@all.org.
Thanks, and God bless!
--Michael
