I was sorry we couldn't be there, but I've been intrigued by this hip-hop group. You know, a few of us "really old" people, Karen, Marc, George and a few others have been talking about a hip-hop aerobics class in the dome room, using a video. Maybe Kyla and her gang could come in and mentor us sometimes, assuming we get this off the ground one day. Glad you posted this story.

And I love it that most of the time kids are so unselfconscious about their acts of generosity. To me that is one of the signs of a truly generous community. I love these stories.

I'm glad to read about the "count your blessings game" because I couldn't stay that Sunday. It is wonderful that there are multiple authors here. I'll be back!

The guy asked if I didn't think that would be a great idea. I told him it wasn't necessary. He asked why not. I told him it was because people from Broadway are ALREADY in ministry every day. Alan's good work and life are a wonderful reminder and sign that this is true.
