Death of Distance
The world gets smaller and smaller.
I take for granted that I could wake up and go to bed in DC yesterday, but spend the day in Atlanta which is 600 miles away. That would have been unthinkable a hundred years ago. At 3 mph, the speed of walking, it would have taken 200 hours without stops. I'd probably be at the beltway right now if I was going there on foot :)
Then I got home and I had an email from a pastor in Australia who stumbled across evotional.com. He found it by doing a google search for George Danzig who I referenced in one of my evotionals.
It's a small world after all :)
I haven't done any scientific research but I don't think there are six degrees of seperation in the blogosphere. I think it's more like two degrees of separation.

Or maybe it's that there are a zillion degrees of seperation in the blogosphere and only one degree of seperation in the Godsphere ... Him. As it's been said - God is the ultimate Wherever insider.
I just attended a lecture at the Udvar-Hazy Center on NASA's X-43A hypersonic aircraft that flew at Mach 10 last year. Imagine one day eating lunch in DC, getting on an airliner and flying to Tokyo in only two hours, then getting off the plane and eating BREAKFAST! Not sure when it will happen. Perhaps in 10 or 20 years?
I wasn't invited to that lecture :)
Hypersonic flight. Mach 10.
A-mazing!
