Global Night Commute

As I awoke on saturday morning, little did I know that I was in for an adventure. Cindy and I left her house around 11:20am to head up to the Underground. We were going to meet up with the band Dizmas and go to a baseball game. Later in the evening we planned to sleep downtown on the street for Invicible Children.Dizmas rolled up in there SUV pulling a rather large trailer (minus Jon who was with his girl friend, we were all sorry he couldnt make it but I bet he wasn't). They hope out greeting us with smiles. Isaac and M joined us a little while latter and we were off to the game. When we arrived Rudy and Sadie joined us too. We parked at Longworth Hall which is some distance from the stadium, but we enjoyed the walked.
Before we headed out Josh realized that he did not have his wallet on him. He searched everywhere for it but to no avail. He called the hotel they stayed in and learned that his wallet had dropped out of the SUV and some man had picked it up. He proceded to take the wallet to the front desk, then tell the clerk that he would contact Josh. (weird!?) So upon deciding that there was nothing more that could be done, we started walking to the game. As we all walked Josh cancelled all of his credit cards and called it a loss. (Poor Josh what didn't the stupid guy just leave the wallet at the front desk?)

Cindy, Isaac, M and I all bought tickets for everyone. We sat in the nose bleed section but it was cool. I think the guys enjoyed the game (Atleast that is what they said.) The Reds won the game against Houston.Clay and I had some good conversation between pitches. As we walked out Zach and I began talking and we had a great talk about God and how he uses the worthless to do His thing. I soon began to see that the guys of Dizmas are true Men of God. They seemed to always be patient with everyone that came up to them. Most of the questions seemed to be, "Are you in a band?" But their patience was genuine. They all had there own personality and did not have to sacrifice it in order to be a part of a band. We wanted them to just be themselves, we hope we accomplished this.After the game we made the long walk back to the cars and headed for newport on the levee. We decided to eat at Dewey's Pizza but the wait was 40-50 min and we were already running low on time. So instead we decided to eat the Claddagh Irish Pub which turned out to have great food and a great atmosphere.

After dinner we went back to Longworth hall to park. We loaded up our gear and headed towards the Freedom Center for the Global Night Commute. This weekedn was to raise awareness for the Children in Uganda who are being forced to walk to a safe location inorder to be safe. They LRA (Lord's Resistence Army) is Kidnapping them in the middle of the night and making them into soldiers or sex slaves. www.invisiblechildren.com It rained the whole night and we tried to stay covered but a one tarp can only cover so many people. LOL I hope that this weekend meant somthing to people and makes a difference so that we arent just a bunch of crazy people who slept on the street one night.

(sorry for how short this is and all the typos there was plenty that happened that I could write about but after losing my blog twice, I give up!!!! Sorry If I left anyone out too)
