Of course this may be preaching to the choir, but the two are related. I often think of my own<a href="http://www.spiritual-lives-of-women.com/" rel="nofollow">blog writing </a> as a WWJD moment, and if I remember my friend the Dir. of Catechesis who clearly saw the internet et al as a way to Evangelize, offer prayerful support, be a comfort to the hurting, a hope to those who struggle; than blogs, your, mine and others are a way for us to be the hands, hearts, and love of Christ.

But this is such a reminder that we can never know how we are being used.

Thanks for this - I am grateful for being the channel of connection here. When I think of how God weaves us all together my heart swells - and I think of this with gratitude very often. I had a card from them as well, just saw it upon our return. <br /><br />I first "met" Jamie on Facebook, introduced to his work by Brother Dan Horan, who blogs at Dating God. I can't even remember when, but I read an article in Spiritual Life, a Carmelite journal, called Digital Natives and Franciscan Spirituality or something like that. It was written by Dan. I was so moved by it that I googled him (he had not yet started DG blog) and got his email address, so I wrote to him. It turned out that he was going to be at Siena College, mere minutes from where I live, for the coming year. It took us awhile, but we did finally meet up one day.<br /><br />Once again, the seemingly random is a reminder that none of this is a waste of time. I just wish that I had more time to read and write blogs! And please know how grateful I am to know you!!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7418067986039614257.post-76017944326359372322011-08-06T13:01:14.096-04:002011-08-06T13:01:14.096-04:00@John: I agree.
