Carolina Chocolate Drops!

Last night my roomies and I went to see the Carolina Chocolate Drops at the TLA in Philly. They were AMAZING! No lie, this show is now in the top five best live shows I've ever been to. They knocked out Pedro the Lion at the Metro in Chicago. If you have the chance see them! They were funny, great to dance to to, energetic, and down right fantastic.

St. Louis co-laborer

Hey, could all of you be praying for our St. Louis ministry? over the last two nights copper thieves have broken into their ministry center and stolen upwards of $200,000 dollars worth of stuff. Pray for Randy, Hannah, and baby Mona Riggs, Adrea and Andrew Medlian, and for the rest of the staff who are serving that community. Thanks

the oddest things

So recently I went to Moody to recruit, and then headed over to the home of Famous Dave's, Minnesota. I went there to visit my former college room mate and best friend, Amy Boal. She and her husband live and work in a thriving suburban community, which they are about to bring a beautiful baby into. I had so much fun hanging out, being free from all responsibilities, I could go to bed early and then sleep in. Every morning I would walk to the coffee shop and read. I never had to pick anyone up, or be at any meetings. It was a great vacation. One night while we were talking, Dan, Amy's husband, spoke of being in Highland Gardens, the neighborhood I am now invested in. He had grown up in PA and knew the area. We talked about the community at large, and then he told me a story of a man he met once. Dan told me his street name, and gave me a description, I asked a few questions, and we came to realize I also knew this man. Over the past several years God has been placing people in Doc's life who love the Lord, and now we are praying that he learns to lead and love the Lord the way Dan, Amy and I do. Crazy, please pray for Doc.

Check out the above link. Chester has been placed in a state of emergency due to the growing violence. Please pray that this time of lock down will give people the opportunity to turn their hearts from violence to righteousness. More police on the streets is not going to stop crime, only a changed heart can make a difference, please pray for my neighborhood, for Highland House, the missionary staff, Chester's Churches and the authorities.

Wheelbarrows, Windshield Wipers, and Turn Signals

OK, so first it was a wheelbarrow, which thanks to awesome neighbors, was returned. Then the windshield wipers from my car were gone, so I learned a new skill, I now know how to replace those. And yesterday morning I awoke, got ready, went out to my car, and someone had jacked my turn signal, the whole light! "ARE YOU FREAKING SERIOUS!" was all I could think. A turn signal! If your car needs one, go buy it, like I had to, and there was nothing wrong with mine, I didn't need a new one.

The turn signal incident followed a great evening. Vera, my "sister," had coordinated an amazing night of worship and unity for Chester Churches, Gospel Explosion!. The night was filled with dancing, singing, and fellowship. Satan really loves messing with the children of God. Please pray for continued unity of the Body of Christ in Chester, and that I respond to this theft with the love of Christ. I'm not going to front, it has been tough.

my girls

This last week I had the privilege of hanging out with five awesome girls who had spring break. We gardened, ice skated, hung out, went on a picnic, and talked about Jesus. Hydia and Hynessa have a relationship with Jesus and want to be baptized, they explained the Gospel message to their friends, and blessed my heart. Please pray for these girls, that God will continue to work in and through them.

Oh and so far this season we have started three gardens for friends and neighbors, there are at least two more to be done.
