Hey, ya'll...... Your's truly is truly tech inept. Learning how to use this website has been a challenge. I hope to enter more and shorter entries in the future. Someone asked "Hey, what's 6 degrees & shrinking, anyway?" It's based on the idea of the "6 degrees of separation", which states that w/few exceptions, we're all no more than 6 social connections from everyone else on the planet......Impossible 50 yrs. ago, when most lived in small towns. Travel & the internet have opened up our shrinking world. Some photos are absolutely timeless & take on much more dimension when you know the person in them.....Such is the pic below, which I sent last Sept. & may send periodically for yrs. to come just to make sure the guy hasn't fallen yet! Upon closer examination, I noticed last night that there is a State Farm insurance agency right across the street! You can't make this stuff up! Classic!
4) Finally, the aerialist bro (I'll just call him AB) in the photo ^ had his life radically changed after accepting a request from their cousin's family to move into his house! Matt. 7:7......(I'd just been intro'd to AB 2 weeks prior!) This man grew up in the deep country, had never personally met a black person until college....& THIS was his 1st close encounter w/people from that faith!.....God threw him in the deep end as their tribe is one of the most conservative people groups in the world from that faith! The ladder pic is a fitting metaphor. It seems he's made no missteps, relying completely on the Holy Spirit. About 3 mos. ago, the young man (who initiated the request for his family to move into AB's home) got in trouble w/the law for an alleged non-violent act. But God is moving. AB eventually found a Bible in his language & sent it to him while he was in jail. The young man's father also started a conversation w/AB & that resulted in AB gifting yet another Bible to him! Then the daughter was seen thumbing through it! AB is a man of many talents.....He performed this Brandon Lake song called "Gratitude" live on Facebook after the daughter heard it & the young man was brought to tears as he watched it. At least 5 people from their country gave a "thumbs up"....including 1 of the very conservative patriarchs of their clan!!!!! THAT'S HUGE!!!! You can view the video below: Here is a thought we could all be praying about: If this very large family were to become Jesus followers, many members of that violent anti-democratic movement could theoretically be reached through them by a couple of degrees of separation! Some of them could possibly even have cousins who just wound up on the wrong side! Their connections here & there are vast!
For expanding the authority of OSHA, hoping the world shrinks another degree.......and the nations..... .......just another witness of His Glory Comments are closed.
