Goodbye 2011

I haven't written in this blog as often as I had planned in 2011, but I have plans to do more in 2012. That's not a resolution, just a desire to share more of my journey on a daily basis, even if it's only to read for myself, and to keep up with all that God does in and through the ministry of God's Garage. I almost hesitate to call it a ministry any more, simply because I feel that term has been abused, and one that I am letting go of as I see the concept of God's Garage become a community in itself, and a beautiful reflection of Jesus in our community.
   I am going to make this a short entry, but I wanted to mention that there are a number of people here, and it is a blessing to hear the laughter of the kids playing, seeing one of our homeless friends making new connections with people, and sharing what God has been doing recently in his life.
   Old friends that have never been here are here, and there is conversation, food, laughter, music, games being played, and I am thrilled to see a house full of people enjoying one another.
   At the moment, there are a total of 20 or so people here, so I will close for now to focus my attention on personal time with each of them, and I will return to write in 2012 with a renewed fervor for blogging, and my prayer for all is that we will see a world of peace arise out of the hearts of a few who have been chosen to suffer and to persevere in the Gospel.
   Let us know that God is with us, and that He will be here with us as we kick off the new year, and we anticipate GREATER THINGS to come!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!!!!
