Are they Fresh?

So, I have to apologize again. I know it's been WAY too long between updates: two weeks now. But I've been in Orlando on business AND sorta kinda misplaced the notes that I took after LAST weeks session.

The good news is I found last weeks and I've updated all of the information on the right.

But I'll combine the past two weeks in this post.

Last week, we met a cool Bass player named Rob. He totally fit the stereotyped look of an old jazz bassist. He plays with a couple of groups around the city and I'm hoping to be able to track him down and hear him some time. He seems incredible.

Anthony chased us down as we were leaving. "Salvation Army!" he called out, to get our attention. He just needed some of the food that we had left over.

Altogether we gave out 148 cups. It was the BUSIEST night that I think we've had yet.

This week was a little different too. Started out REAL quiet - hardly ANYONE in the station. It picked up to normal as the night went on, but there seemed to be an unusually high number of highly intoxicated people that we would run into.

Most notably, Dirk. Apparently, he served time on Death Row (though, apparently, because when he FIRST went to prison, cell 1 on death row was the only space available. Heavily intoxicated and wondering why God was punishing Him. Kristy helped him to see (read: tried to reason with him in his intoxicated state) that his poor choices caused him to be where he is. Hopefully we'll see him again. Hopefully he'll remember us.

We also met Archie (former military man). Young guy with a connection to some people in the Salvation Army. Pretty cool stories (and scars) from differently places that he's served.

Tilden saw our friend Archie again. He hasn't been having a good week and wonders why God isn't blessing him. We see him a lot and have been building a pretty good relationship with him. He'll come around.

The title of this post comes from what Willis asked when we offered him some doughnuts. He's a neat guy.

Tonight, we did 134 cups.

Continue to pray.

AND, next week Tilden and Stephanie get married! They better not think that they're getting out of Bus Station duty.

Grace.
