Seven's First Hair Cut

She loved it and posed for the cameras! I don't know if it is a good
or bad idea that she loves the salon!

DREAMCENTER UPDATE FROM MINISTRY DAY TWO

HERE IS ANOTHER UPDATE FROM KATHRYN AND THE QUARRY INTERNS:

Today we worked with two outreaches Under the Bridge in the morning & afternoon and Hope For Homeless Youth in the evening.

In the morning we went down to Skid Row and walked around to invite people to a hot meal later in the day. We passed out candy bars and information about their bus pick up for church on Thursdays and Sundays. As we walked we were able to get to know people and encourage them to come to the meal so we could have the opportunity to talk to them more.

When we returned after lunch we set up the hot meal. Some of us served the food and others walked around to pray and talk with people. The Under the Bridge feeding program goes to this particular area in Skid Row twice a week. We met a few people who were on fire for God. One lady in particular quizzed us in Bible trivia and actually knew quite a bit about the Bible. Another woman was encouraging all of us as we prayed in a circle after lunch. It was really neat to see how thankful everyone was for the free meal.

After dinner we teamed up with Hope For Homeless Youth and went down to the Santa Monica area to invite people to the pier for dinner. Clayton was able to share his testimony over the PA system with all of the homeless people who had gathered. Quite a few people came up to him and shared how impactful it was. Rex prayed with a gentleman for safety and health and he was moved to tears while Rex was talking with him. Hannah, Tim & Trevor met a man, and a woman who was two months pregnant and they were able to help them come back to the Dream Center to stay at the emergency shelter.

Overall it was a great second day of ministry! We are excited for our final day tomorrow. We’ll be working with the Food Truck & Metro Kids Outreaches.

Love you all,

The Interns & Kathryn

DREAMCENTER UPDATE FROM MINISTRY DAY ONE

Our Interns and Kathryn sent this update from the LA Dreamcenter:
Today we had our first outreach. We went with Hope for Homeless Youth (who partners with the Dream Center) to Venice Beach and handed out food to the homeless people. We broke up into groups of 3 and walked the beach passing out bag lunches and ministering. A lot of the people took the food and were very willing to talk about there beliefs and listened to our preaching about Jesus. We met a lot of interesting characters and learned that sometimes all they need is someone to listen. It was our first day of ministry so we are all still getting warmed up to the mission field. We are looking forward to the rest of the week. Keep us in your prayers and we miss you all and will see you all soon.

Love,

Interns + Ms. Kathryn

CHERRY TALLY

I am addicted to cherries. A friend let me know there are early, yet yummy ones available at Fred Meyer. I purchased some yesterday. Today, I have officially finished my first pound of cherries.

Here's to the start of the season:
Cherry Tally: one pound.

Happy Birthday, Eden!

Happy birthday, Eden Laneya Warren!! Travis and Gia, we love you and
are so excited for this life with you all.

UPDATE: INTERNS TO LA DREAM CENTER

I just received word that our Quarry Interns have safely arrived to the LA Dream Center. They just unpacked the van and settled in their rooms. Today is a "free day" so they will get a much needed shower (-: and head to do some sightseeing. They have a week full of feeding the poor, evangelizing on the streets, praying for people, attending services and many of the wonderful avenues of the LA Dreamcenter Ministry. Please keep them in your prayers.

AND THEY WALKED AWAY...WHAT HAPPENED?

Jeff, the driver of the #70 car, just posted about the horrible picture I previously posted of a burned car...read more here.

And they walked away.

Thank God for His protection.

LAST WEEK'S CELEBRITY APPRENTICE

I do not enjoy watching the drama, arguments and petty issues that typically come with this show but this season, there was something about the relationship between Joan Rivers and Clint Black that drew me in.

Last week (not the finale), I was moved by Joan's reaction to Clint in the board room. At the start of the season, he disgusted her! Throughout the course of the season, Joan adopted the mission of training Clint to work with people. When asked by Donald Trump, last week, what she thought of Clint, Joan showed appreciation and pride. However ridiculous or great you think the show is, I witnessed a life memory. She just had a grandmother's grace and "don't worry, it's gonna be okay" attitude (with Clint (-: ).

I watched the finale last week and she chose him to be on her team! It brought me to tears again. TMI? Cheesey? It's okay. We all have our moments!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

Happy Mother's Day to all our amazing mothers!
