Welcome!

I thought I would create a space to share some of my life thoughts as well as some my life's adventures and misadventures. I am not sure what is in store for this Blog. I love God, I love my wife, I enjoy reading, kayaking, cooking, thinking about ways to sustainably help the world's poor, and leaving a smaller carbon footprint on this planet—Steve G’s Eclectic World. As life is both an experiment and a journey so is this blog. I hope that you will take what you like and leave the rest.

FINAL REFLECTION FROM MY TIME SPENT WITH THE SIMPLE WAY

I am now back home in Silver Spring.  However, I do have one last reflection from the week that I wrote this morning before leaving Kensington, Philadelphia that I wanted to share.
Well, I am back from Morning Prayer and just about packed up and ready to hit the road.  Again, I can’t wait to see Helene, but I am also sad to leave.  I prayed for the children on Potter street at prayer this morning—I still can’t get out of my head the image from sitting on the porch at the Hospitality House last night.  To give you a better image Potter Street forms a T with H Street and the Hospitality House sits on H Street facing Potter. Looking down Potter Street and seeing all the kids playing—some were riding bikes, some throwing a football and others just talking—all of them in peaceful community with each other.  These children are the future of this neighborhood and there is such promise for them.  My prayer, again uttered here, is that this future is what God wants it to be!
