I think I am going to start posting one week behind what's happening on the streets. This will hopefully produce, though probably a futile attempt, a more quality blog. The content will have a chance to set it more and perhaps give me a better perspective on the happening of the night out.

My evening started hectically with friends calling hours before needed help and one neighborhood friend in particular just needing someone to listen. This on top of Doug, one of our main team members, being gone for the week. That meant that I would be serving dogs myself instead of connecting with Cameron and his group from Colonial Heights and talking with the rest of the group. Needless to say, I arrived in a bit of a frazzle.

I enjoyed the service again. Getting to see everybody that came through the line was awesome! Normally I am talking with other team members and then in conversation with just a few individuals. It was the warmest night of the year, so we had double the usual numbers! Served up over 150 hot dogs to about 80-90 folks. As the weather warms up, we will be focusing less on warm clothes and more on socks and shoes. It will also allow for us to get more creative in our outdoor space! More music, longer nights! More games and more relational conversations! That is what I get excited for. We get to know folks more and that allows for more time for the Holy Spirit to work!

I don't have any abstract or inspirational thoughts this week. I only have bright hopes and high expectations for the little ways that God allows us to work!
