never before today

I woke up this morning with such a spirit of gratitude. My friend, Nathan Amooti – who is a pastor in Rwanda – is visiting with me.

It is really quite amazing to consider. When I was younger, I often longed to live during another period in history. Truth be told, I wanted to live in the wild west. I’m not exactly sure why as I would have made a terrible cowboy. This morning I realized with joy that this is the first time in human history where it is possible for Nathan and me to have a true friendship. Between international air travel and instant messaging over the internet, we can keep in touch and get together throughout the year.

For all the horrible things progress brings, there are some truly amazing ones as well.
