Eddie

Thought you might like see a face of some of the people I have the joy of serving!

Above is a picture of Eddie. He is a man that comes to the LAMP Cafe.He came from a Catholic home. He was the whole nine, alter boy and everything. He is a former Marine who served our country in Vietnam.
When I first came out and meet Eddie it touched me how open he was with us. His love and joyful spirit always lifted me up. I am so grateful to him. when I first began on the Cafe I was pretty overwhelmed but it was people like Eddie that made me feel at home.
I just wanted to share a bit of his story, but in keep with the dignity of the person I don't want to reveal all that was said. But there was a incident with a person in the Church that turned Eddie off from the faith. It is just a constant reminder for us to be always cautious with our actions. The ramifications can be detrimental. It is also a call for us to remember forgive as Jesus has forgiven us.
I would like to ask my family and friends to please pray for my friend Eddie. Pray for hope, peace, and reconciliation.

PS Eddie gave me permission to post his picture and name
