I only worked for three days this week, because our church went on a "Church Getaway" to New Hampshire on Friday. It was a great decision to take off Friday and Saturday, since last week I worked A LOT.
Two of my guys went MIA this week, one on Thursday night, and the other at the beginning of the week. Today in the 10AM group, a senior resident said, "It's hard when someone you're close to doesn't listen to your advice and just decides to leave one day. It's hard to watch someone go out like that. It makes me not want to get close to anyone else." I looked at him and said, "Welcome to my world."
On a lighter note, Damon, who many have heard tell of before, celebrated a year of sobriety on Friday, the 10th. It's a big deal. Damon was in the Mission when Tyler and I first moved, and he was the first man we were close to who relapsed. Many people prayed for Damon on that occasion, and also for us to know how to love him. Damon is a special man, and it has been an answer to prayer to see him come back and fight for his sobriety. I am really proud of him, and I was able to congratulate him on Friday over the phone. It's excellent to watch him achieve this milestone.
Praise God for His faithfulness in Damon's life!
