Dude! Share The Food!

it's a chevy trailblazer... or was...

wow!  we sure haven’t had many posts for the last 3 months, have we..??

i guess i just quit looking for stories.  or i was too lazy to type them up.  or, maybe my fingers fell off.  or, maybe i’ve been distracted by my new phone.  or, maybe i didn’t have access to a computer.  or, maybe i did write some things, and the dog ate them….

(just kidding. . . there are still so many great stories to be told!)

well, in case you haven’t heard, i, erik, have been given NEW LIFE!!!

yep!  on feb. 23, i was in a serious car accident, but came out of the hospital that very same night!  sore, cracked sternum, banged up, bruised, and in a daze for a couple weeks, but ALIVE!!!  (and, i just looked at a state-farm diagnosis-code report; i was apparently suffering from dizziness AND giddiness!  code 780.4!!)

so, here we are, all still together, with “sharing food in the name of Christ” remaining as our goal!

thanks for your prayers for me!  and to the young man, joseph, who ran from his front yard to my crashed-up-t-boned-no-airbag-deployed truck saying “don’t let him be dead!  don’t let him be dead!” … thanks for your prayers and quick actions!

and Thank You, Heavenly Father, for saving me.. .. ..

eh

This past Saturday I knew that several of our “regulars” (and no, I don’t take you for granted) would not be able to be at our food prep.  I asked God to go before and provide workers.  When Erik showed up, I was the only one there and he was thinking we should not make as much as usual.  I told him God was sending people so no changes.  As each new person showed up it nearly brought tears to my eyes.  New people, young people, and people who hadn’t been in a while….awesome.  And Erik managed to stay in one place the whole time and was even concerned about quality contol. lol  (For those that don’t know, Erik has a tendency to be easily distracted.)

And now my thanks to everyone who does or has done  anything for Dude:  the people who come every week, the people who have come just a few times, the people who donate money and food,  to everyone who has followed God’s call in anyway to help share with those who are in need.
