I really enjoy the variety of people I meet every Tuesday night. Some are volunteers who are alert to any opportunity to share the Gospel to hurting folks whether they are homeless or other volunteers. Their eyes light up when they are given the opportuntity to share their lives with others. Some of them are very talented like Sam who sang a gospel song acappella. He said he used to sing gospel music. I think he still does. What a blessing.
Another interesting conversation revolved around prophesy. This individual told me that he was one of the end time prophets predicted in the Bible. He based this revelation on the fact he had attended Briarwood Elementary School (briar of thorns on Jesus's head) and Hillcrest High School (Jesus was cruxified on a hill). He said this was all part of the puzzle for him and it just could not be a coincidence.
I always enjoy talking with Eric. He is so resourseful. He is homeless but he does not sleep on the street or at the mission. He always finds some place to spend the night . Last Tuesday he got a room for the night for two cigarettes. Not a bad deal considering a room runs about $45. But most of the time a night's stay is free because he such a likeable guy. He just had his latest bike stolen but I expect he will get another one before next Tuesday. Anyone with a bike for Eric. let us know. By the way he also gave his take on prophesy, he told us he was a post milleniallist.
Last Tuesday we served 65 hot meals with the assistance of 14 volunteers. We continue to see new faces every week.
