Twig made the call for the grilled cheese and soup tonight. I'd made about 5 dictatorial decisions in a row for meals so I was glad to hand it off this week. I got a call late in the afternoon that someone had a pan of freshly cooked spots and hush puppies for us. Then when I got downtown I remembered we had some scallops we had been sitting for a while, so I pulled them out (5 gallon-size Zip-Locs) and we had them tonight, too. It is always amazing and humbling to see how much God is capable of putting in our hands to distribute each week. Last week, fried shrimp. Tonight , spots and scallops.
How wild is that for a feeding ministry to be able to do? 
It doesn't go unnoticed by our friends either. They comment often on the variety they see and we always give the credit back to God and his graciousness. 


There has a been a nice response to the boxes at the Activity Center asking for coat and clothing donations. We're going to distribute them next week.
We'd like to put together a package deal of a toboggan, a pair of socks and a pair of gloves, if we can come up with enough.


We're rearranging some of our storage downtown to make things more efficient and a little easier at the end of the night.


Having the spots last night reminded me that we haven't had a FISH FRY in a while. I'd like to, it's just a matter of can we fit one in now that the Holiday season is on top of us. We'll see.


Don Vigus and I have been working on a plan for a Spring Break Mission Trip with the High School kids that come and help on Tuesday nights. The current thought is to go to New York City and spend 3-4 days plugged in to some homeless/food distribution programs up there. Let you know more as it develops.


Had 45 people in line at the first stop last night when we said the Blessing. That number will go up as it gets colder.


Fixed 10 gallons of homemade chicken soup last night. Went through about half of it, so now we have 5 gallons ready to be used another week. We're smart like that.

It's about time to start switching Sweet Tea for Hot Chocolate. I've never drank one cup of coffee in my life, but I've drunk enough Hot Chocolate to float a battleship. Love the stuff. I like to dunk graham crackers in it. Don't know where that came from but I've done it ever since I can remember.
