Connections

Even as the population of the planet expands, technology shrinks the size of the world dramatically. Today I had met a fantastic woman. Three months ago I had no idea who she was and had no reason to know her. We had exchanged a few email messages before I arrived so today we met for lunch. But no one I knew back in Arizona knew this woman. I find it fascinating how easy it is to connect with through various technology.

In Arizona, a woman (#1) in my Bible study group knows a woman (#2) who just came back from a tour in Egypt. Woman #1 put me in touch with Woman #2 through Facebook. Woman #2 put me in touch with a couple of her friends still in Egypt, including the wonderful woman I lunch with today. Woohoo for technology, making the world a smaller place, everyday.

Of course, many of you who are reading this haven't seen me in years or have never met me in person. But I still consider you my friends.

  1. How is your husband enjoying his job? Can you share anything he has said? I did not even know we had folks in Egypt...which shows my ignorance, 'cause we do have embassys in most countries, right? Hope you are having a good day.

  2. I am woman #1...ha ha..so happy I was paying attention whenever you announced where you were going. I knew "woman #2" would give you nothing but positives, since I could clearly tell she was having Cairo withdrawls..Hope you get your car soon, but I've heard driving can be a real adventure!
