A growing number of people are traveling really long distances to work.
Researchers call them “super-commuters.” Many of them travel hundreds of miles from their homes to work. They take a combination of cars, planes, trains and buses to get from home to the office.
New York University’s Rudin Center for Transportation reports from 2002 to 2009 the number of super-commuters grew in eight of the 10 largest U.S. metropolitan areas. They grew in the Philadelphia area by more than 50 percent during that period.
I commute exactly 24 feet from the rectory to the church building.
#1 – reminds me of the story I read (in Stott, I believe in preaching) of the minister who boasted he could work out his sermons in the time it took to walk from manse to church. So the elders got him a house 5 miles away.
I have one about that good. I forgot to print my sermon on Sunday, and I realized it as we were processing in. I scooted out the back way, printed my sermon, and was back in the Church before they had finished singing the Gloria. No one ever knew…
You guys are giving away all the trade secrets… 🙂
My husband commuted between the US and Switzerland for ten years.
