Lin,

I hear what you are saying.  For those without a safe place amongst their family and friends, it can be especially hard.  Many people when they are forced to leave their churches because of some type of spiritual abuse find that they are separated from all of their friends.  This makes their situation all the more hopeless in their eyes.

In this day and age of computers and ways of communicating without having to live close by each other, we can connect and have a community through the internet and email.  I treasure the community of believers that comes here.  It is my desire for people to feel safe to contact me and to know that what is placed openly on this blog is meant for hope and healing.  This may not be as good as people you can go to and receive a physical hug, but it may be the next best thing and for that I give God the glory and honor and praise that he has provided ways for us to connect.
