Blogger Serendipity

Recently I was in a church service where my brother was speaking. The man behind me introduced me to a missionary from Haiti. When I heard her name was Ruth I instantly began to connect things in my mind. "You wouldn't happen to have a blog called 'There is no such thing as a God-forsaken town'?" She smiled sweetly and acknowledged that she did. "Why, I've been reading your blog for months!" I said.

Just then the service started and conversation was over. I'm still amazed that a missionary from Brazil could meet a missionary from Haiti in a camp meeting in Kentucky and that we'd discover the book blogger connection when neither of us even has our picture or full name on our blog. Fun!

That is amazing. Good job making the connections.

Hope, while I am catching up on reading your posts, this entry caught my throat. God is so good, and the world is small.

And I love serendipity!
