- It’s a Small World After All
It’s a Small World After All

Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.
I have recently acquired new regular readers in France, Sweden, Ireland, and London. (Hi, y’all!) I see them on my sitemeter everyday. I am so thrilled that they are interested enough in what I have to say to make me a part of their day.
What amuses me about it is that I have family member with whom I am pretty close who have never stopped by even once. I guess they’ve heard it all before and are a bit tired of my mental wanderings. It’s just a nice boost to the ego when someone in Paris, France or Asker, Norway make you a part of their routine. So, thanks guys, for making me a part of your day. I know you bring a smile to my face when I see that you’ve dropped in for a visit.
You also help me to teach geography to my children. Look at the list of countries in the sidebar, my 8 year old can find every one on a map, and feels a personal connection to each one. After all, his mom has readers there.
In fact, when we heard of turmoil in Jerusalem on the news a few weeks back, my six year old asked, “Do you think your reader is all right?” I hope he is, and I hope he reads this and knows that #2 was worried about his welfare and included him in his bedtime prayers. SO, thanks for stopping by, regularly or not, you make the world a smaller place for my children who look at a map and see not other countries but places where people live, the kind of people who read mom’s blog.
