Many years ago I moved to a new location and found a new church. I met a woman who became one of my best friends. Together we worked with the teenagers in the parish, trying to start up some type of youth ministry. Neither of us knew exactly what we were doing, but exposed the kids to a lot of great things with the guidance of more experienced people. In later years we attended theology courses together. As I moved to another city, we both ended up working in ministry in different churches. Even though we didn’t see each other very often, when we did, we caught up on everything. She is one that I can tell anything to. Now since I have moved very far away, unfortunately we talk even less. I was excited to get a text from her today. She was trying to remember the name of a video that we showed the teens so many years ago. I called her as I honestly didn’t recall what she was talking about. As she described the video, she thought of the name. I thought that was pretty funny. I have been reading about Christ being the “head” of the church and we are all parts of the “body”. I find this explains the many connections that I feel I experience.
I Found God today in a connection with a good friend.
