The 5th of July

Not everyone was able to celebrate yesterday. We helped provide a celebration of sorts at one of California’s numerous residential neighborhoods. We volunteer at the Dorothy Day Center in Berkeley. Every Tuesday we pick up two or three hundred day old doughnuts from Happy Doughnuts in Berkeley. If Dorothy Day has enough, we skim three or four for ourselves, six for the garbagemen who come on Tuesday, then repackage and deliver the remaining ones to homeless encampments. We often talk to the residents. They are grateful and appreciative, never failing to say “thank you.”

You will try but can never break me. God built me to last.
