Go Cincinnati

Yesterday, I spent the day with a group of 6500 people from 28 churches as part of the "Go Cincinnati" program to make a difference in our city.

The project I was assigned was to do some home repairs and gardening help for a family who is part of the Shepherd's Crook ministry.

This family currently houses 15 special needs, adopted children from across the globe. To say it was sobering would be an understatement. Frankly, it makes commenting on politics so small and petty.

Mind you, this, as the Gekko's are currently working on plans to increase the living space in our home because "it's not big enough" for two people.

Well, take a modest four bedroom house and cram 15 kids in it and remind me of how our home isn't big enough.

Regardless, if you ever want to be a witness to the power of allowing God into your life, you need look no further than the parents of these kids. It's crazy to believe that two people could take this on. But with a faith in God, all things are possible.

By the way, someone tell the little two year old Guatemalan kid that my hand still hurts from the "knuckle knock" he gave me.
