IT'S WHO YOU KNOW
IT'S WHO YOU KNOW

....they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
Hebrews 8:11
My daughter was enjoying a sunny afternoon, with her two little ones,
at the playground. She bumped into an old school chum who had never
seen her boys. The friend was taken with both - Ryan, the animated and
talkative 2 year old, with sandy blond hair and steel blue eyes, and
Tommy, who at 4 months was his usual smiley self. She suggested that
Adrienne take them to a place nearby where they're looking for kids to
do a diaper commercial.
When the three of them arrived, the room filled with children and
parents. Adrienne checked with the receptionist, and mentioned her
referral. They were brought in immediately, ahead of all those who'd
been waiting. As she was relaying all this on the phone to me, she
exclaimed, "It really is who you know!"
True. At one time I was in a business that required meeting new people
continually. One word that was on everyone's lips was "networking". If
you knew one person, you could use that name to finagle meeting someone
else.
Sooner or later we will end up at the famous Pearly Gates. Once there,
no networking will be necessary. No appointments, no waiting. We will
be asked, in essence, "Who do you know?" And when the answer is
"Jesus", we will be ushered right in.
Definitely it is Who you know.
