Filled in for a staff member at 24-7 last night from 7-9. Good to hang out there knocking out work & prayer. Slow night. Just a handful of mostly 1st timers trickled in one at a time here & there. Each 
dived right in with God after walking sheepishly through the site & then landing each in their own perfect spot. Stayed open well past 9 to accommodate the two or three who lingered before God before heading home. Saw one of them at 24-7 again when I stopped by today. Was also introduced to Naeem, who had settled into the most comfortable chair at 24-7 & looked like he was knocking out some sermon prep. After a brief chat, we agreed to connect & talk further about what it could look like if Mosaic, the church he Pastors, were to sign on with The Justice Project. Seeing Staci Marinack was a nice surprise too. Good timing, as she offered to help with a specific Villa Heights resident we want to help by repairing the big holes in their ceiling where rain leaks in. All in all a good day. P.S. I said yes to Renovatus. Got that nervous excitement about it right now. Ya know, the kind of nervous excitement you get when you’re standing in line to ride a roller coaster. You can see what’s ahead, the heights & dips, but you still wanna ride. I’m gonna take my seat, buckle up, & throw both hands in the air. Thanks for praying J.F
