Had my first day of service in new orleans today. It was reaffirming to read NODC---new orleans dream center, on the papers. It's real. I did move down here listening to God. I am just so excited about helping. I was in the sketchy part of town. But I had sweet Sandra that posed as my mother taking care of me. It really hit me as we filed down canal street. As I was waiting on the light to turn green, I looked to the left and saw several homeless people laying scattered underneath the interstate. It is true, they are here. I saw it. People who for whatever reason are enduring a defeated life. I am continually blessed by mark and doreen. Mark is on a hunt to set me up with someone and decided that he and I should go get a hot dog tonight. Funny, but certainly appreciated. All I did was take down some names, ask for heights, did a few weights and made a little boy very scared of needles. But it was good knowing we were doing it in the the name of Jesus Christ. We didn't lead anyone to Christ, but maybe we were a stepping stone for someone.
Got my number assigned to me on friday, I think!
Auburn upset 4th ranked florida last night, good stuff.
