You never know who you're going to bump into in the blogosphere. Maybe I'm a simpleton, but the death of distance via digital technology never ceases to amaze me. I think six degrees of seperation has been reduced to three or four.
I just got an email from someone in Brazil who read about National Community Church in their newspaper. How crazy is that? I guess the New York Times article is bouncing all over the country and all over the world.
It's a small world after all. Maybe I should write a song by the title :)
By the way, it was sort of funny to see the article in Spanish. I took 3 1/2 years of Spanish and the only words I recognized were "Mark" and "Batterson" :) Pretty pathetic!

I don't have a link :) I only have a hard copy which is a little too long to post.
Sorry :)
Someone just told me that they speak Portugese in Brazil :)
No wonder I couldn't read it :)
Yep . . . that splains it!
You might like the book The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman (I'm reading it right now) and it's all about how small the world is now.

Read it. Love it.
The book is a fascinating take on the death of distance.
What's wild is that I'm working on a webpage and it's being designed in India :) So I feel like I'm living that book. It's great. I give feedback during the day. They work during the night.
Many of my friends are from Brazil....they DEFINITELY DO speak portugese, and you could get hurt in Brazil for saying they speak Spanish (they're very prideful on their distinct National identity). Ha! That's very funny, though.
