I’m bummed. Tonight my wife and I along with a few others will serve for the last time at the Mission of Hope. This is a church/kitchen/outreach on the wrong side of town. Over the last few years we’ve spent Tuesday nights serving meals to the homeless and down and out. This Friday the mission will stop feeding due to lack of financial support.

I know there are plenty of other places to serve but I’ve become attached to this particular place and people. These Tuesday nights have help keep me grounded. I get to see places people and problems I’m not familiar with. To be honest this place has played a large roll in changing the way I look at almost everything from politics to church.

These people will still have food to eat and a place to worship but I won’t have a place to be a part of it, for while at least. I’d like to say I’m the one who will suffer the loss but that would sound unbelievably trite. I’m just going to miss these Tuesday nights.
