Hey Jason, (I mean, “Ill South”) – just want you to know that we will be praying for your safe return to NC. Wow, only five days left. I’ve been reading your blog since our own return from Toronto (who came up with the word ‘blog’??? It’s weird). Anyway, I’m excited for what God is doing in your life. You have so much to offer and I earnestly believe that your fervor to do good work will remain constant throughout your life. Remember Jeremiah 29:11, it is a glimpse of hope in a dark world…”for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”. God said this after issuing a 70-year judgment of captivity, so I think we can be reminded that our work on earth will never done and that He truly holds our future. Ok, enough of the sermon, I can’t believe you got to wear Brother John’s habit!!! Hilarious. Whenever I stop to think of our CSM trip (which is often), I am just blown away and oftentimes speechless. Matt and I can’t wait to go back and visit. One of our many stops will definitely be St. Francis Table. Amazing place. Oh, I did get the tattoo on my other foot (of the olive branch). My prayer is that when I see it, obviously EVERYDAY, God will remind me of the story of Noah – that God is the author of peace and we are called to be His peacemakers. Hey, don’t forget that Matt’s brother lives in the Raleigh area, so we WILL look you up when we’re down there next; AND you also said you’d visit us in MI, so the Crew will be waiting. Until then, may you be blessed and may you enjoy french fries for a long, long time. Rock on. Take care. In Christ, Jeanne Molter (and Matt too, and the Lawn Crew)

Good Morning Jason, I know what you are saying, lots of the things you are seeing this summer happens right around all of us. I know when I live on 2nd Street, each afternoon about 5:30, the homeless would walk down the street in front of the house going to their sleeping spots under the bridge. It was a dry, as “safe as possible” place for them to spend the night. Everyone on the street would put blankets , warn clothing, can foods, etc. out in front of our houses on Tuesdays and Saturdays, by night it was all gone. Often there were notes left saying “Thanks”. We do not have to look very far to see needs that are waiting to be met. You have help us understand that we all can help, that we all need to be doing something. I know you have done this for me, Thank You for opening my eyes and starting me to think of what I can do . Be safe! See you soon.
