I wear a ring that says "FEAR NOT" as a reminder that God is everpresent with me. and as the song goes...i will fear no evil for my God is with me. I need to heed my own advice and 'fear not'. Its hard sometimes.

This last week at BLOC my heart was broken. Broken in a good way. if that makes any sense. I learned something about my self. it really made me realize how much i love the community. even the older boys that i don't really talk to. i learned that we often make judgements about the inner city community. as i watched a person get arrested for drugs and hugged his little son goodbye it tore me in two. i couldn't imagine seeing mt father arrested. he made a mistake. but i make mistakes too. he is able to have the gift of christ's forgiveness just like i do. and i pray one day he finds it.
