**Today please keep Six in your prayers because he had a stroke and is in Grady Memorial Hospital**
Today we had our daily prayer time and headed over to St. Paul's for Retreat on the Street because they were opened even though most of the other ministries were closed. There, I got to talk to Six and he told me most of his past. He was part of a Motorcycle Gang since he was a little boy where they taught him how to shoot (and apparently how to miss) and since his dad was part of the game he didn't have to be a prospect, but was automatically "initiated". He quickly earned the nickname "Ice cube" because he didn't care if someone lived, got hurt, or died. He always seeked revenge and always found it. He also told me of his 6 murder charges (all of which can be found on his video on the right of this page or on the Beer for Breakfast website!). After we had talked, we began bending spoons so that he could make us rings! It was pretty spiffy. I really enjoyed talking to Six because even though I already kinda know him, he just told me his life, no questions asked. I was first a little intimidated to ask him blunt questions but realized that he isn't ashamed anymore; quite the opposite actually! He wants to talk to teens in high school or college and talk about his life so that he can impact our generation. PLEASE watch his video.. it definitely made me tear up.
What also makes me tear up is how he is in the hospital... right now. Please pray for him. It's crazy to think how just today I was talking and bending spoons with him and now he is in the ER because of a stroke. Keep him in your prayers, and hopefully tomorrow we will all visit him to see how he is doing. Other than that I got to spend time with the Odle's! We went to dinner with Andrew and Lauren and then went to their house (just me and Lauren) so I could print something for my interview tomorrow. But we also played with Ainsley and it was super fun :) She showed us all her stuffed animals and I got to read her a Curious George book! Now I am just preparing for my interview tomorrow.. please pray for me to see how it goes! I am so nervous! But let God do His thing because in the end, He knows what's best for me.
