The Death of Distance

The world keeps getting smaller and smaller.

I wrote an article, Inaction Regrets, for Catalyst Monthly and got an email from a New Zealander today.

Hi Mark.

My husband and I get Catalyst monthly and we have been inspired by your article--Jump off a cliff!! We live in a little rural town called Masterton in the North Island of New Zealand. Our Pastor recently called for anyone who wants to be a Holy Spirit Inspired Risk Taker to step forward for prayer. About 85% of the church did. Last night your article was the main feature at a Head of Departments meeting. Very positive feedback. Your article is very likely to continue to spur us on to further action so that we can reach the finish line with less regrets. I love the part where you describe everything is an experiment! That is so empowering!

I continue to marvel at the way technology facilitates new connections. John Wesley rode 250,000 miles on horseback as a circuit rider. We can travel that distance with one click of a mouse.

Blogging and podcasting are circuit riding at the speed of light!

Blog On!

Mark,

"P-Diddy" (now known as "Diddy") is trying to hijack your "cliff jumping" analogy!

He's putting out an R & B album and he said he was nervous singing for the first time.

Listen to what he says...

“You can’t believe how nervous I was about some of these. It was like jumping off a cliff into the ocean. But you know what? I found the water invigorating.”

Maybe he read your article too! :)

Scott,

I knew I could count on my lyrosologist to make sure I didn't miss any lyrics out there.
