The book presents the best of the first year of Today at the Mission. It is very much like the blog - a record of an emotional and spiritual journey undertaken in the kitchen of an anonymous homeless shelter that could be anywhere, or everywhere. It's not always 'light' reading but it's every bit as real as it is honest. This book captures a few miles of the journey I've been on, and I hope you'll join me along the way.

who is to say that your meeting with him yesterday didn't prevent an even larger thing happening with him?
thing is, it is one of those things we won't ever know this side of heaven.
dang.
....but sometimes a person can be arrested for all the right reasons.
Moreover, I've seen many instances where an arrest will serve to jumpstart a cascade of positive changes in a young person's life.
Regardless, I understand your frustration; but be encouraged RWK.
Who's to say that these events (breakfast and arrest) are not two important and necessary steps this young man must make in order that he might experience a new, and changed life?
You would not believe the crap I had to go through to reach this side of my life.
Thank goodness there were those rare, and priceless individuals who never gave up on me.
Thank goodness, God himself pursued me with His relentless love.
Be encouraged, RWK. I'm living proof that one person can make a life and death difference!
