Finally an update!

I have been volunteering with Koinonia in Americus, GA for the last couple months managing the Heart to Heart program there. I will be returning to New Orleans Sunday after Thanksgiving to work through the winter.

I plan to continue doing tech support and web design, however I will no longer be staying with Common Ground Relief. I have been accepted as a Minister of Hospitality at Contemplatives in Action. Be sure to check out their website for more information including my mailing address.

Last weekend Pete, Otis and I brewed up 165 Gallons of Cafe Campesino Coffee for the attendees of the annual SOA Watch Vigil at Ft. Benning. With the help of a great crew of volunteers including several from the Newman Center in Charleston, Illinois we sold the coffee raising $2500 for the SOAWatch.

Peace,

Famous last words saying I would renew my upkeep of this log.

After a summer of serving Fair Trade Organic coffee across the country, I have now returned to New Orleans after a 3 month absence.

I am right back into things with fixing computers and updating websites. I am learning new things especially right now after being introduced to Dave, the latest addition to the Tech Team. He has a lot of experience in Unix, Mac, internet and computer security and many more things I discover every day.

I had a really nice visit to the Monastery before arriving last Thursday. It helped me refocus on the reason that I am here, both through my time alone there and while talking to a spiritual audience about why I am returning.

Be sure to read about the Jena 6 campaign as this is an important issue facing Louisiana right now.

Maybe I'll write more soon...or maybe not.
