wow!! yesterday, we gave out 300 sack lunches, plus we were able to give some more donated food to a homeless shelter! great day!
at our first stop, in little five points, one guy told us he had a hut from the “mad-housers”….. ‘what’s that?’ you say?? well, i’d read about this group before. they find a homeless person and a location, and then build them a small hut. it’s about 6×8, with a locking door and a stove.
so, i find out his name, william, and i ask him if we could see it… he says ’sure, follow me’. so, we follow him (he’s on a bike), and arrive at an overgrown lot in a residential area. we walk on a path through the brush, and -there it is- his home!
he tells us of the ‘other guys’ who stole some of his stuff, but, he’s thankful for what he has, and he’s very very pleasant…
pretty cool!! if you know any carpenters that would like to help out, just check out ‘www.madhousers.org’
god is good, all the time!!
eh
