How long has it been since I posted here? Has it been 2 or 3 weeks? Was sick for a few days with a bug. But the only excuse I have is that I got writers block.
Some of you have asked about the young girl and her brother that came to SoxPlace, how are they doing you want to know. I understand the boy who was 12 was taken to a mental hospital because he was cutting himself all over. The girl is still around but she is showing the wear and tear of the street life she is living. It hurts when you get to know some of the young people.
A thought ran through my mind recently and I want to share it with you. Have you ever shared with someone your favorite charity? Have you ever told someone about a ministry that you help to support? And why that ministry was so important to you that you helped support it with money and with prayer support? Try it sometime, in a conversation just tell them that you have this favorite ministry and that you support them with money and prayer. Tell them why you do this. When you do this you will not only solidify in your own mind why, but you will be encouraging someone else to get involved, maybe not with your favorite charity, but maybe they will get involved and be a blessing to someone else. Try it.
So, what is this name, Crazy Eyes? Some time ago, there had been a man around Sox Place that had possibly spent half his life in prison. He was known to 'rough up' people. Doyle was concerned that Crazy Eyes might one day turn on him. Doyle talked to him and made him promise to not ever hurt him, Doyle. A couple of weeks ago, Josh, my nephew, took me outside and told me he wanted to introduce me to Crazy Eyes. He didn't put into so many words but he let me know he wanted Crazy Eyes to know who I was and that I was Doyle's brother. He made that abundantly clear to Crazy Eyes. I talked with him and found his name was Donald but he wanted to be called Crazy Eyes. Actually a kind of nice guy, but a little unstable. Now I talk with him whenever he comes in. Pray for inroads into some of these precious soul's lives. God loves them and wants them to come to know Him and His love for them.
Like Paul, I ask for your prayers, "for I know that through your prayers and the help given by the Spirit of Jesus Christ, what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance." Philippians 1:19
How am I? I am blessed and highly favored! I am blessed and highly favored to have your friendship and prayers. Love you all
