DAY ONE
Well we are currently safe and sound behind university Methodist on Guadalupe. Laying on the ground next to Darrell and Curtis. We walked up here with Kim and her boyfriend Sean. Guys are well fed as the guy at the church brought coffee, mac n cheese, cookies. Pizza run failed though.
I am on a retreat called the street retreat. It is put on by mobile loaves and fishes. It is 48 hours on the street with the nothing. No money. No wallet. It is time spent with God and my fellow man.
Well tonight started out a little slow i just could not settle down. I was very anxious to start having some experiences and i finally have settled down a bit.
We got dropped off at a park at 10th and Colorado. There were about 100 people fed by mobile loaves tonight. I am with about 6 of our guys. The other 18 are somewhere downtown. I really have struggled with bringing this blackberry but i am really glad i did to write you. We got to the church about 8 and started getting ready to lay down. I had a great talk with Sean earlier. He is very well versed in the bible and has quoted a number of scriptures. He talked about the Trinity and compared that to the family. God is the father. The mom is the Holy Spirit and kids are the body of Christ. He discussed how the Spirit is the comforter of man. Thought that was an interesting perspective.
We prayed together tonight before bed and Sean the homeless guy prayed for us. Kim and Sean have brought guys food and are really looking out for us. It is very humbling to be here so out of my element and not in control.
We are going to volunteer to feed some folks at the church and we need to get up around 530 so I am going to turn in. Love you all and will write tomorrow.
Jeannie I love you. We are safe and will be. I am confident in that.
