Rhea

Received an email this afternoon from a girl named Rhea. She found the blog randomly and here's what she said:

"Hi Dave:

My name is Rhea. You don't know me, but I randomly came across your blog today while Googling different things. My mother was born and raised in Edinburgh, and I just wanted to let you know that I think it's awesome what you and your wife are doing there. My mother was a Christian, and her faith really laid the foundation for my faith, which gives me a real affinity for Edinburgh....though at the same time it leaves me with a broken heart to see "not-Christian" Edinburgh has become. I spent two weeks in January in Edinburgh visiting family, and it was so astonishing to see how post-modern it really is.
Anyway....just wanted to let you know that a random girl from Kentucky is praying for you, your wife, and the work that you all are doing in Scotland :-)"

I emailed her back and let her know how much I appreciated the randomness of our connection and how wonderful technology is to bring these type of situations about. I love that, "a random girl from Kentucky is praying for you, your wife, and the work in Scotlannd." That really lifted my spirits today. I've received a few of these emails of people somehow finding the blog and offering encouraging words.

Thanks again Rhea from the bluegrass state, your email was timely.
