Allow me to begin with some quotes about friendship I found somewhere through the years.  So long ago that the source is lost - my apologies to the original compiler.

So many people - good people - church people - Christians - stop coming to Bible class.  Many stop attending special activities of the congregation.  Eventually, some even stop assembling for worship.  Why?  Where are they?
