The World Is Getting Smaller

You probably don't remember my post Six Degrees of Separation. In it, I described a web of connections between me and several friends. It's amazing how small this world is getting. Today I found out that one of James's friends from Paris is engaged and, get this, she's marrying a guy that I worked with at Camp Redcloud in Colorado! I just think that is incredible.

I mentioned in the "Six Degrees" post that I had a few stories for another day. Today seems like a good day to tell the story of Pete and SB. I met Pete at a church in Martin in the spring of 2005. I told him about Camp Redcloud and that I was going to be working there during the summer. He was very interested in working at the camp after that. He decided to go with me, so we packed up our stuff and rode to Colorado together. He worked at the horse camp, and I worked at the family camp. SB, who was from Florida, worked at the family camp with me. Pete met SB and they fell in love that summer. When I otherwise would have never seen SB again, she decided to move to Tennessee and marry Pete. She and I were  even roommates for a few months before they got married. Ever since then, they have remained very dear friends of mine. It amazes me that if I had not met Pete and told him about Camp Redcloud, he may not have gone to the camp where he would meet his future wife SB.

Just one small decision can greatly shape the rest of our lives.
