			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been enjoying one of the great benefits of social media lately. That is, reconnecting. I have rediscovered old high school classmates and neighbors. Once I find one, then they have a couple more that they have to suggest and the &#8220;friends&#8221; list grows.<a rel="attachment wp-att-383" href="http://ellen5e.com/p/reconnecting/puzzlepiecesscatteredtranslucent/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-383" title="PuzzlePiecesScatteredTranslucent" src="http://ellen5e.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/PuzzlePiecesScatteredTranslucent-212x249.jpg" alt="PuzzlePiecesScatteredTranslucent" width="212" height="249" /></a></p>
<p>This demonstrates to me not only the power of today&#8217;s social media and the world wide web, but also how much of an impact just one person can have. As my friends list continues to grow I am not out to place additional names on some list for the sake of numbers. Rather, I am amazed at the number of people who have touched my life or shared my life with me in some way.</p>
<p>It is not just the world wide web that connects us&#8230; No&#8230; it was far before computers were even invented that we were connected. God the Father intended for us to go out into the world and share our lives with one another. We make an impact where we are and with whom we are surrounded. That is why I like to think of myself as a &#8220;Walmart Missionary&#8221;&#8230; I will use the opportunity of standing in a shopping line to say hello to a total stranger and share a piece of life with them. Oh how marvelous it is when we are talking about the joys of living and walking in the ways of the Lord!</p>
