Had an extremely weird “small world” moment this week. Our friend Mike from Bermondsey is in India to attend a wedding and do some trekking in the Himalayas. At the same time, Rachel (Vance) from Ontario is also in India doing some mission work. I got an email from Mike this week saying that he was in a remote village in northern India, and that he had met “your friend Stephen’s” sister Rachel! Is that weird or what?? In a country of a billion people and who knows how many thousands of churches and assemblies, and in some remote little village you bump into a friend of a friend!
I don’t know how many times I’ve met someone in another part of the world, and they’ve said, “Oh, Toronto! I know someone from Toronto! Do you know so-and-so?” You walk away thinking how silly it is that they’d even ask, and that they likely think Toronto is some small hick town. Well, I promise I won’t roll my eyes next time.
So, have you ever had a “small world” moment? Please share! |

Well let's see, we do we start? One roomate from northern Ontario married a girl I grew up with on the east cost, who's Mother used to date my father. Her sister was best friends with my now sister in-law, and her cousin was in Ottwawa at the same time as I was. This cousin also knew a girl from out west who is engaged to my other roomate. Who by the way is my Cousins wifes cousins neice. Incedentally my roomates brother (in newfoundland) is marrying a girl fro the small town my sister in-law is from.
Oh and did I mention that my sister in law is my uncles cousin? But that's another story... |
