Jude 1:17-25 Our world and our own lives are full of divisions. What could you do to lessen even just one?

It's interesting that this is the prompt for today, as I am considering my theme for 2015....and the leading one right now is Connectedness.  Connectedness is, basically, the opposite of divisions.  Today, I was in my old office in the Nursing School, (finally) packing up to move all my stuff over to my new space.  It's been a really busy semester and I have not had a free moment to pack.  And, as I packed, I reviewed a lot of pieces of paper sitting on my desk.  I saw notes from students, from faculty, from parents, and it was nice.  I think that, between the notes I have in my files, social media (I love that I have 3,900+ FB friends), and our Christmas Card/Letter list (it is fun to send and receive these cards, even to and from people we have not seen much in the last 12 months), I have been able to try to stay connected to as many people as I can.  I hope this can continue, even as my primary job responsibilities have changed....I think I will try to make sure that it does.  In the Tipping Point, Malcom Gladwell calls people Connectors (see my Daily Reflection from 12/16).  I cherish being a Connector and I like that is can lessen the divisions in life.
