Such a Small World, Such a Big World
The world feels incredibly big and incredibly small all at once this week.
We heard the horrible news out of Bejing yesterday of the American who was stabbed to death. While this happened a world away it happened to a man who lives in Lakeville, Minnesota. The Lakeville city line is less than two miles from our house. This man’s grandchildren go to school with my children. How can something that is so far away seem so close.
And then the news from home this week that my sister Shari and her husband Fred have been in a horrible car accident. And now something that has happened right here in America seems oh so far away. You realize the vastness of our country when you want to just get in the car and start driving to your family and realize that is just not practical because it will take you three long days to drive there…
Please pray for my dear sister and her husband. Shari’s injuries are very serious and she will be in the hospital for a long time and recovery for a very long time. We are so thankful for her life! Pray for us Pedley’s as we deal with decisions about getting family members to California and the cost associated with that.
This world is oh so small and oh so big all at the same time!!
