I spent the better part of the morning in a place called Quixote's Garage. Across the nation I've seen sign after sign,(No loitering, no trespassing,
ect.) Chris, the manager of the place, has a card that states" loitering allowed." She lets homeless people get mail, eat, drink coffee, phone calls or even sleep on her living room furniture. When I arrived she learned of my trip and by God's grace some one had dropped off a
WalMart kids tent. This is the tent I usually buy, being a great value at around $20.00 new, very light weight, and easy to put up. She was more than happy to give me the tent, and let me know where to get a better sleeping bag. This small city has such a refreshing attitude. Quite a few people have suggested I stick around here, There's a good
climate, plenty of food, and some real nice people. The state even offers health insurance for homeless men, this is unheard of!
I was surfing the net and I came across a site where my journey had been discussed. I had no idea this had taken place over a year and a half ago. My mission statement states that my goal is to touch hearts for God, not just survive. The idea of going back down the mountain into a place where I have no idea where I'll be able to sleep or eat isn't necessarily appealing, but I am convinced that God will provide. I pray He will be use the sign, or my stupid bike ride to touch a few more hearts. I'll probably leave in the next couple of days.
Prayer works, please pray that God will work in my heart to do what He would have me do, and as always, please contact me a daniel.gibbs@yahoo.com if you have any prayer concerns, thanks for checking the site, and God bless, Daniel
