Deep Friendships Are Becoming More and More Needed
This is a bold statement: deep friendships are becoming more and more needed as people from all corners of the planet look for ways to deal with increasing isolation, loneliness, depression, despondency at the hands of a pandemic that just will not let go.
Health Care Authorities, School Teachers, Psychologists and all those in the know agree and are alarmed by the impact that isolation is having on people of all ages.
Loneliness, social isolation, huge life changes are increasing the cases of dementia, compromised immunity systems, depression and anxiety as Covid-19 invades every part of the planet.
It Is Essential to Our Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Health to Address This New and Complicated Problem
God created us as humans that need each other. Lone wolves do not do very well over time. People need people. Simply put, we need each other and whatever we can do to make our friendships strong and durable is a good thing.

Michael J Levesque
Over thirty years ago my brother gave me a Bible. I barely knew what to do with it. I had already read many books about world religions and the people that are there.
I was a twenty-five year old man on a truth quest. So I decided to give the Bible a chance.
And after weeks of reading, I sensed that truth was close. And indeed, it was. The more I knew of God, the more my soul filled with joy and purpose. In time, I realized that Jesus Christ was the center of everything and that wise people follow Him.
I became convinced that Jesus is who He said He is; Emmanuel, Messiah, Redeemer, God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords. And with that profession of truth and belief, my sins melted away and my Faith in Him grew. And as I live each day, I keep my eyes on Him as a sheep follows his Shepherd. This truth has made all the difference in my life.

Introducing
How to Build Deep and Durable Friendships
My initial course is titled “How to Build Deep and Durable Friendships: even in a pandemic”. My motive is to get information about how friendships are found, established and nurtured. Friendships can help people endure when hopeless, encourage when depressed. And even though the suicide numbers are so high and this seems like so little, at least it is something hopeful. With the suicide numbers as high as they are, I could not just sit on my hands and do nothing.
This course is my initial effort.
I trust it will have great impact.
