I was a lottery loser at Room in the Inn last night. About 18 men showed up and the church had 10 spots. My name didn’t get drawn. So I headed back down Poplar to the Union Mission and paid $6 to get in. I missed dinner. And they had Gus’s! BLAST IT ALL! Bellevue Baptist was the guest church for chapel and they sent their Welcome U band/choir, which develops the next generation of church youth leaders. They were excellent!
I showered and found a mat on the floor – I got there too late to get a bed – and fell asleep and dreamed that I had a red ‘68 Cutlass.
Back tomorrow with more news.
