Good crawfish and a day at the park

Posted by Matt On May - 23 - 2007

I just returned from E. Texas where I worked on Saturday with a Convoy of Hope outreach in the park.  Read http://www.panews.com/local/local_story_139153249.html to see more about the day. 

Over 1,100 people came to the event in the city known for it’s oil refineries, and really good crawfish.

The pound I ate tasted wonderful.

 

 It’s also home to a Buddhist Temple that used to be a church.

At the event, I met Rodney who had served behind bars for 17 years.  He told me that the event Saturday was what was needed to spark a change in his life. We talked for about 20 minutes, and I introduced him to key people in the area that can walk with him though the next steps.   Great conversation.

The family and I are off on Thursday to see our friends Travis and Joy (www.xanga.com/donotfeartruth) who have just made a fun announcement on that site that has to do with the number 3, and then to see my nephew for the first time.  He’ll be dedicated on Sunday.

 

Life is good.

 

The Office ending on Thursday was shockingly beautiful.
