We have stopped serving on Tuesdays in Philadelphia. The Word In Action International Ministries has been able to recruit more volunteers. Also, the city is closing the Ridge Ave. Shelter, in front of which they serve, as their second site. Then there is my health.

Holy Trinity Orthodox Church Lenten Retreat, March 24, 2012
I am sorry for posting this so late. I have been very ill and sleeping a lot. The King’s Jubilee was first formed out of the Saturday morning Bible study of about 150 men from E-Block at Graterford Prison. I shared the vision and asked them what I . . . → Read More: The King’s Jubilee started in a Prison so this event may be very relevant. Can someone make pasta and veggies for tonight? I have the ingredients. You can even come over and use my kitchen if you want. I’m sick. Karsten and John are bringing chili and tea down to the street. I was going to make the pasta and get the tea, etc., but not really up to the . . . → Read More: Pasta for Tonight We are now serving two or three Tuesday evenings each month, in addition to every Thursday evening. This means we need to buy more cups, more iced tea, more fuel for the TKJ-mobile, more hot sauce, etc. We are also helping several guys who have moved off of the street gather things that they need with . . . → Read More: Running On Empty We started off the summer with high hopes.

I came to the hospital ER last night, because the migraine was not responding to the medication and I had symptoms with it that I had never experienced before. With all the different health problems I have had over the past year, we are so grateful that we have a quality hospital with caring, compassionate staff, right here in the area at Grand View Hospital. We are also grateful that we have health insurance. It is also extremely helpful to have dear brothers and sisters . . . → Read More: Thank God for Healthcare That’s what Fred told me after I missed going down on June 16, because I was in the hospital. He was not wishing me ill. He just marveled at how people pitched in to cover for me. Lydia and Uncle John made the soup. Todd, John and Joe made sure the iced tea, cups, hot sauce, . . . → Read More: “You should get sick more often.” |
