Dream Center Check-in

We checked into the Dream Center about a half hour ago, and now we're sitting around waiting on Dominoes to deliver our dinner. UNC is killing MSU in the championship game, so no one from the team is engaged in that game--we're just hanging out in the outdoor section of the cafe figthing off the mesquitos.

We have a tired crew here, sunburned from the team-building games on the beach today, but ready for what God's leading us to the rest of the way. Tomorrow morning we'll get a tour of the Dream Center, and tomorrow afternoon we'll hit the streets with the Food Truck--one of our favorite ministries.

On our way here today we drove through Bel Air, Beverly Hills, and Hollywood--getting a good perspective on the outward appearance of the "LA" lifestyle. As we got closer and closer to the Dream Center, reality set in more, as we saw homeless people curling up on the streets for some sleep, and families begging for food. The proximity of desperately hurting people to multi-million dollar homes is pretty stark and eye-opening. Tomorrow we hit the streets to reach those hurting masses.
