I don’t believe in coincidence, though I know that I will often not understand the reason.

For example, we have met Brian and MIchelle Coleman at least 6 or 7 times now on the Camino! Always a blessing!

Here’s another. One morning we were in the “boots room” when a young man discovered that someone had inadvertently taken his boots, leaving a similar pair, 1/2 size smaller!

Later we heard (from the Colemans, of course!) that two days later the two met and swapped to their originals (although one fellow had developed significant blisters).

The gentleman that mistakenly took the wrong boots was the very gentleman who had so graciously offered me his walking stick! And a day or two after we heard the problem had been resolved, Sean recognized the first young man passing us on the trail and his blisters had mostly healed.

There are MANY people on the Camino yet all these stories intersected for some reason. Thank you, God! It is a wondrous mystery.Read more
