A Central Small World
The results of the poll have been interesting. I’ll leave the poll up for a couple of more days with the understanding that there is one particular vote that counts for about 100.
I got a call yesterday from a person who attends the Central Church of Christ in Victoria, Texas. The caller has a relative that lives here in Stockton and said relative finds herself in need of encouragement. The caller wanted to know if someone could go check on her relative.
The caller explained that she was searching the internet for churches in Stockton and came across Central Church of Christ on the web and figured since she attended the Central Church in Victoria that it was a good sign that the Central Church in Stockton could help.
The caller had no idea who I was (no big surprise) and further more had no idea that it was more than just good luck. She had no idea of another connection between these two Central Churches.
When my parents decided to move us to Central America they searched for a sponsoring church. Even though other smaller churches and many individuals supported the mission work the Central Church in Victoria assumed the oversight of this work.
Some nine years later when we returned (for good) back to the United States we moved back to Victoria and my dad continued working for the Central Church. During my high school / college years the Central Church in Victoria was my home church.
So, you see, I felt pretty confident that it was providence (not luck) that prompted the phone call yesterday.
