"We do not enter the Kingdom of God by becoming more knowledgeable, more influential, more powerful; but by becoming more humble, more gentle, more loving." (pg 85)
"Those that are blessed are not those who succeed "religiously" but those who keep trusting even as they live the experience of failure." (pg 93)
Wow. It's already Day 6. I can't even begin to describe how much I've learned throughout this week. Today we went to Retreat on the Street to gather things for Saturday on the Street because we celebrated everyone who had/has a birthday in May. We had snow cones and birthday cake. A lot of people came and I played chess and checkers with a few guys named Reggie and JB. This entire time we just hung out and talked about each others' days. It was very relaxing. After that I read for a little bit and all of us interns went to the Lot to hang out with our new friends. I met some more people, like Trey, Will, Marcus, and Mark. Mark especially touched me. He writes poems. And DANG are those poems good. I recorded him. It's called "Sacrifice," a poem by the Walk in Revelation and Touch of Thought Poetry, LLC.
