This Week at the Mission...

November 3 - November 9.

The community at the Mission continues to gel. We have a good group of guys and gals in house right now, and it makes a huge difference. Sure, there is everyday chaos that needs managing, but, overall, the residents here are supportive of one another and are striving, together, to break the cycle of addiction in their lives.
Thursday night, I found myself monitoring some phone calls for some of my clients. During one guy's call to his sister, the following remarks were made:

-random observations on religion: "when i'm in the shower, I look up and there's a tapestry that says "what would Jesus do?" And I wonder, 'What would Jesus do?' You know, cuz he was really on the ball a lot of the time."


-describing the word 'Gnarly:' "It basically means extreme, and a little bit scandalous. Like if you looked in the fridge and pulled out a block of cheese that was really moldy, you would say, 'whoa, that's gnarly.'"


For the record, there is no tapestry in the shower, but I did locate the tapestry in question, and it is in the bathroom, above the sinks. I guess this was an honest mistake.
