What a day!

Wow!  Let the Kingdom come!  Today was awesome!
We took about 35 youth from Community Covenent down to a government funded housing area of Kansas City, called T.B. Watkins.  We brought 50 handmade sandwiches, lots of chips, cold water with some chairs, blankets and soccer balls.  Set down the coolers and within minutes we had a [...]

KC Youth

We had a great time sharing our story with the youth at CCC today!  We had a captive audience as we told about our nasty grease hunts, some of the people we have met along the journey and gave a summary of why we are out here.  What an opportunity we were given as George, [...]

School of Radical Christianity

We dropped in on the folks at Holy Family Catholic Worker House today.  If you don’t know much about the Catholic Worker Movement or it’s founder Dorthy Day, I encourage you to check them out.  Her solidarity with the poor brought on much persecution here in the United States.  She was hated for advocating socialist [...]

Goodbye Denver!

It was hard to say goodbye this time.  It has been hard every time, but this time seemed a little more bittersweet.  I felt like we started to become part of the family at Joshua Station.  They welcomed us with open arms and then wrapped our arms around them as we departed. God is doing [...]

Another Answered Prayer

Hanging out here at Joshua Station in Denver, CO it’s easy to notice the highs and lows the residents go through living in Community with each other. Yesterday, we were able to see both. One of the resident volunteers came to us in the morning and told us her work computer was stolen while she was sleeping. [...]

Scum of the Earth

To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; when we are slandered, we answer kindly. Up to this moment we have become the [...]

Eating together

Partcipating in meals here at Joshua Station (and many other places) has proven to be the best way to get to know people. 
On Thursdays they have a community dinner which we were invited to join.  Afterwards the adults get together and have a Town Hall meeting to discuss business, celebrate goals that have been acheived, and [...]

The family of God

Its about time we update this, huh? 
Over the last few days we have been adjusting ourselves into Denver and Joshua Station. 
Joshua Station has welcomed us into their small community of families.  We are parked in the back of the building enjoying the shade right against the wall.
There are lots of opportunities for us to join [...]

Day in the park

Spent most of today in the Lafayette, CO city park.  We took the kids swimming for a few hours, one of their favorite activities, and then BBQ hamburgers.  Tim had a great idea to offer a burger to a guy who had been sitting on the other side of the basketball court since we had [...]
