Sleeping With Strangers

It all started with a email. Sam wrote asking if we had any space in our room on Friday night. Lynnette's friend Ann was homeless at Disney World. After learning that it was her first trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, what else would I do? Simply slide over and hand her a pillow.

One might wonder what circumstances brings people together. How could a woman, a friend, a husband, a mother, and a Mouse all all converge from across the country for one moment in time? How could a blog post lead to lunch at Yak and Yeti? How could two people who have met perhaps once in this life end up sharing a room?

It's really pretty simple. Tonight I looked up and saw Venus and the moon share the same piece of sky. I realized the same One who designed this beautiful sight is the same one who put two and two together at Disney World. He's the same one who creates circumstances and connections that changes strangers into friends.

You just have to look up and see the possibilities.

what a good story of how blogs connect people and meet their most urgent needs.
