I had a "Twilight Zone" moment happen to me on New Year's Eve.
Nick and I were invited to the home of a parishioner of mine. These people are life long Episcopalians and were founding members of the my current church. So what I saw on the counter left me totally speechless.
I walked in and saw a coffee cup on the counter. Now, this is not something that would be odd except for the fact that the cup said, St. Joseph Lutheran Church, Middleofnowhere, MI. St. Joseph was the first church I pastored! Even more trippy, I was the one who instigated the purchase of the cups to give to visitors!
How weird! Life-long Episcopalians having a coffee cup from a little Lutheran church that is in a little town about 150 miles away, that I encouraged the congregation to buy about nine years ago. Sometimes life just gets odd.

HA! I love when stuff like that happens. Makes me feel connected to the world.
very odd, indeed.
We've experienced this kind of "six degrees of separation" thing many times in our lives. I take such experiences as reminders of how connected we all are.
