NYC

Yesterday was pretty sweet. We left the AWESOME apt we're staying in at 9:30am and did not return till 9:30pm. It was a loooong day of walking and our feet were all in protest.
First we went to the Empire State Building and looked around NYC. Then we went to Cold Stone where the girls enjoyed ice cream and I enjoyed a cherry cheesecake milkshake!!! Best IN THE WORLD!! After that deliciousness, we went to Times Square. Then to Central Park where we got some pictures taken. After that, we were off to the site of the WTC. It is being rebuilt and should be completed by 2012. Next we went down to look at the Statue of Liberty. We all though it would've been bigger :(. And finally we went to an Irish Pub for food. And, of course, we got o take one final walk by the Flatiron Building on our walk back to our AMAZING apt. For the full set of our NYC photos click -->HERE<--. Today we jump on a bus and head back to HH for the last session of the summer. It is just about done.
The best part of Jenny and I's yesterday though was when Kylene went into a Starbucks to get directions to McSorely's (the Irish pub) and we noticed a homeless gentleman leaning up against the glass sleeping. We approached him and spent a bit of time with him. His name was James Miller and he did not have a place to live. He is constantly in and out of hospitals and alcoholism has destoyed his life and his body. James literally has no place to go and noone to turn to. He has tried shelters and programs to get clean but his disease has him defeated. We asked if we could pray with him and believe for God to work a miracle in his life, similar to mine, but he wouldn't receive it. James was obviously bitter against the church, and shut down when he thought we were there under its guise. It's sad. The Church should be a place James can run to :(. We are praying that God heals James and turns his life around.

in NYC for a couple days

Yesterday Jenny and I hopped on a bus in Glens Falls and cruised'er into the Big Apple to visit Kylene Compaan for a couple days. The bus trip was quite uneventful and we made it to the city in about 6 hrs, altogether. Arriving at 7pm, we headed down 8th Ave to meet Kylene at W34th St. We got a bite to eat, dropped our stuff off at the AMAZING apartment we're staying at (seriously, maybe the most amazing apt I've ever seen!!) and then went for a cruise around the area. The highlight of our walk was seeing the Flatiron building! We are staying in Manhattan.

Today we have a big day planned, including: spending some time with some homeless people, checking out the Empire State Building, Ground Zero, a restaurant called McSorely's, Central Park, Times Square, Statue of Liberty (maybe), Brooklyn Bridge.................I think that's it! Gonna be a busy day, better get movin!!
