I have had a frustrating time consistantly connecting with some of the jr. high youth in my neighborhood. I may have discovered a new window of opportunity. Food, friendship and sharing... roots to modeling hospitality... well the last couple of weeks we have gotten together to cook food and share it with our friends, neighbors and family. It is important to have abundance... to have the opportunity to feel how it feels to be able to give rather than to take. To their surprise this is more fun than watching a movie or playing with yugioh cards... and other usual past times. Yesterday one youth was dreaming what it might be like for us to have our own pizza company... work with immeadiate tangible results is also a pluss... moms seem to be happy to have their youth come home happy and not hungry for a change... another youth was musing, "why don't we do this instead of ordering pizza out"... I now have a concrete way for peple to come and volunteer for an evening... come and teach us how to cook your favorite food... is their a Lasagna out there... we are currently a small enough group that we could come to you... and so it goes...
