We are sharing our world in so many ways and with so many people we don’t even realize are there. I’ve learned in traveling that the world tends to get smaller every day. Yes, there are millions and billions of people and animals and all sorts of creatures, but there is an amazing network between people. I’ve met people in other states that know people I’ve known for years — yet I’ve never encountered the other until then. It’s like the six degrees of separation.

I like to think God planned it that way. Maybe those six degrees of separation are all winding us back to God somehow. After all, God is the one who knows us all, and who made us all. Maybe if we look a little closer at the people and things around us we will feel more connected to the one who made us all.
