You Know You are a Christian in Sexsmith when...

...the man you bought a mobile home from 20 years ago at Seminary is now your "Boss!"
...you go to church here for the first time and you recognize the man greeting you at the door, not because you baptized him 15 years ago, but because he's wearing the same style of knee length pants he wore back then.
...your partner on the maintenance crew is also a former Pastor and you enjoy many theological conversations together.
...you go out for supper and the propriator gives you a discount because he appreciates PRBI.
...you go for dinner in Grande Prairie and winde up visiting with two other couples from church.
...you go to meet your wife in Wal-Mart and some students from PRBI wonder what you are doing in the cosmetics department.
...you go to the doctor's office and the receptionest is a PRBI grad.
...you get a new job through a Christian man who also had your job a few years ago.
...your new boss is a Christian.
...two people at your new job are from PRBI.
...your Realtor is from your church and prays for you in his office.
...your financial advisor is also a member of your church.
...you recognize the receptionist at the Lawyer's office as a PRBI grad.
...you go the the Bank and the teller is a PRBI student wife.
...you have a fire at your home and you know all the firefighters on a first name basis.
...the man from Alberta Disaster Services, who will be cleaning up after the fire, is also a member of your church.
...two men stop by your house one evening to survey the damages and they are both Pastors you have assisted by preaching when they were away!

Small world--especially in Christian circles! Kinda nice to know everyone, eh?
 
The further north you go the bigger the spaces get but the smaller the world becomes! Hey, you sound like a "Canajan, EH!"
 
Sure is nice to have a big family. You sure notice God's goodness when you look around a little.
You don't have to go so far north though. I saw a man standing by himself at church this morning, and went up to introduce myself. I found out he grew up in Pontiac, MI (West Bloomfield). He is about Tom's age, and went to Pontiac First Baptist. We will have to talk some more to find out who we know in common. Glad to hear things are working out on the house. I am sure it is disappointing to not be able to get into the house right away, but God chose an unusual way for you to get a first class remodel. Rascal Jack's other half.
 
It sounds like it is a small petite town.I like how it sounds but be careful of who you tell things to,it may be the gossip of the town.
