We live just one mile from where the killings took place on Capitol Hill. The Rave that occurred before the all night party is less than a block from where we live.

Carmi and I attended the community meeting that took place on Capitol Hill. What a discouraging meeting. It was worse than what we even expected. It was a huge reminder that we live in one of the most liberal cities and neighborhoods in America.

Last Thursday I graduated from the Seattle PD Chaplaincy Academy. So I am officially a community chaplain for the East Precinct which is just a block from our studio apartment.

The training was very good. We are very thankful to have the opportunity to attend.

We will be called out for death notifications, hospital visits, accident scenes, our other crisis situations. This will give us the opportunity to have more contact with the local community.

We have a young man we are ministering to who has made a re-commitment to the Lord. When we first met him he was filled with pride even though he had gotten released from prison only a few months before we met him.

Over the last couple of months he has been attending leadership classes and hungry to get his life in order. He is much more open to counsel and is coming to us for advice and applying our counsel. He still has a ways to go, but we have seen tremendous progress. He does love the Lord and has a burden to reach the lost, especially the downcast and rejected. He has been helping us in various outreaches.

We will be having to make a long trip for a hearing he has to attend. He does not want to go to his old stomping grounds by himself. Another sign that he is becoming more mature and wise.

It turns out that a woman who we have helped in the past is in jail in the same area that we need to go to the hearing so we are working out the details to visit her at the same time. She wrote us a couple of letters and we talked to her on the phone and she is despondent and feeling suicidal. The good news is that at the jail she is at we know the chaplain for the women at the jail. The have a God's pod at the jail so the chaplain will determine if she is willing to give her life fully to Christ. If so, she can be in the God pod and get some great mentoring.
