A Small World

Today something fairly funny happened. A guy from Eads Colorado, Derek (my peer counselor whose last name I don't know), and I were all sitting down at the Freshman dinner. As we ate I heard Ryan Trosper (the guy from Eads) ask Derek (who is from Colorado Springs) where he went to school and he said that he had gone to some Christian academy. Knowing that he was in his late twenties I immediately asked him if he knew the Powells to which he replied that he did. I then asked him if he knew Matt and he again said yes. Upon hearing this I quickly informed him that Matt was my pastor and that Sam was preaching in Calhan, Colorado. Derek's initial reaction was one of disbelief but he soon came out of it. For nearly ten minutes afterward he just stared into space, every now and then chuckling to himself and saying, "I can't believe it" or "Amazing". :)
