I am in Athens again this morning. I purchased some vintage couches at the Potters House here in Athens for my office. I had a full morning of meetings that got cancelled, so I came up early just to get a fill of the culture in Athens before I pick up my newfound treasure. I am listening to a little Macy Gray.
The Potters House Thrift Store is a pretty cool concept. It fits under the umbrella of the Atlanta Union Mission. Atlanta Union Mission is a ministry that brings Christ’s healing Power to any person in crisis through programs of rescue and recovery. In 1938, they established it to help with victims displaced by the Great Depression. It now reaches out to over 1,144 displaced men, women, and children in Atlanta. They serve over 2,400 meals daily adding up to 888,664 a year.
The Thrift Ministry provides job training to men in recovery at Atlanta Union Mission’s North Georgia campus, and it also gives merchandise to needy families in the community. It's a pretty sweet deal.
Church was amazing yesterday. I had a girl come up afterward and said that she wanted to be baptized as well. I know this Sunday we have 2 more who are making their mark. I hope and pray that we are not just burying people in water, but that these are becoming children of God, moving closer toward Him, becoming more like Him.
