catchy titles are alot tougher to come up with than it seems

Like most, I go in and out of blogging from time to time.  When I don't blog it doesn't mean there isn't much going on but, rather, it usually means there is too much going on.  And, on the flip side, if I am blogging a lot it means one of two things...either there isn't much going on or I am forcing myself to blog because I know I won't later.  (Is that confusing? That's even confusing to me as I re-read it.)

So, based on the happenings at Rock Island and Cross and Crown lately I haven't been blogging much.  But, that won't stop me from showcasing this update.  Here goes...

These two index cards are notes that our friend, "Mitchell", gave to Don at Cross and Crown this past Tuesday.  The cards read, "Bro Don, I am writing you, this note or letter to let you know that I did not attend, Bible class, this Tuesday.  I enjoyed it, last Tuesday, and I hope that I will do good because the guys that were in the study last wk. seems very ahead of me. I hope that I will be good enough and I hope I know enough to be a regular participate of the Bible class." - "Mitchell"

Mitchell came to the Bible class that Don teaches every Tuesday morning before the food pantry and clothing room open.  He attended last week but, unfortunately, he wasn't able to make it this week.  It is completely voluntary and is open to any and everyone interested in participating.  Most studies include 8-12 individuals and the role call looks something like this...4+ homeless men/women, 1 widow, 1 mid-twenties orphan, 1 former stripper, 1 married couple, 1 middle-class man.

As you can read/see Mitchell is concerned that the other Bible study go-ers might be a little to far ahead for him to keep up.  But, he wants and hopes that he can keep pace.  I think Matthew 5:6 is appropriate here...

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
