The Lord is really fine tuning me. I know this experience well. When He is ready to take us to another level, He gets the scalpel, chisel, hammer, whatever it takes to get us prepared for the next phase of our life. What I am going through lets me know something great must be coming. So, I have jumped on the roller coaster, tightened the seat belt, holding on tight, and holding my breath for the ride of my life.

I had another meeting with the Seattle Police Chaplain. This is the third time we have meet at the East Precinct (a few blocks from where I live).

We have a very good rapport. I cannot be a volunteer chaplain for the East Precinct until I go through training in the Spring, but I am being asked by the chaplain to brainstorm, give advice, help with some of my skills and be a prayer partner.

The more we can meet with him at the precinct, the more we will have credibility with the PD and be able to have more of an opportunity to minister to the police officers. They are actually harder to minister to than the street addicts.

I am going to schedule another ride along with a Christian officer I know.

I am doing much better in my attitude, but not over the hump yet. Just had another indvidual that we have been working with who is making bad choices. It can be so trying at times.

It doesn't help when finances are very low because of lack of work and time taken to help people who ultimatelys till choose to make wrong choices. The good news is that I have learned a long time ago to not let other people's wroing choices influence me to make wrong choices.

We have added much more info in the UserGuide and FAQ Section, so be sure and check it out.

Also, the Christian Forum/Discussion Board is now activated. EDIT-had wrong URL earlier.

We have an OK from Victory Life Center (VLC) board to sign a contract with the Ethiopian Church in Capitol Hill regarding the annex building that we want to use on Wednesdays. Our plan is to use it 7/24 when we have the funds. We do not currently have funds ($200 a month) for using the building on Wednesdays other than for 2 weeks, but we are trusting they will come in.

Without having a building on Capitol Hill, we are very limited in what we can do, so we are glad to be able to take this first step towards a building.
