Connections

I attended a lecture once, many decades ago, and the speaker made an interesting comment,
"If we could build a data base of everyone3 you know in the world, and the data for each of those people, you are only three people away from someone famous, nine from anyone on the planet."

We discussed this at length over lunch.  Just the thought of such a data base!  But is it possible?

So, I commented to a few about my health challenges.  Within 24 hours I was being buried in messages and calls!
Holy-Moly!

Your go years not hearing from anyone and then suddenly everyone is contacting me!  Even calls from people I have never heard of before!

A guy from 8th grade!  How did he hear, whom does he know that knows of me and my plight?  Too weird.
Hundreds of kids I have worked with through the years.  Humbling to even be remembered!
People I went to high school with.  I do not even remember them!
People I have never met, but just know of me through these posts.
Two offers for a kidney donation, but that is in the distant future - perhaps.z

WOW

Sure surprises me.  Whom would have thought anyone cared?
Based on my life, certainly not me!

So building a prayer base.
A support base.

Thank you God for letting me know I am not alone .......
