Hello Columbus, Georgia!
After a long day in the car, we’ve made it to our hotel. In the words of Seth: “For as long as we were in route, it didn’t seem to break us down quiet as much as a typical 14-hour travel day would.” How’d we survive the day? Southern hospitality, of course.
We were up-and-at-em by 8:00, enjoying a wonderful breakfast prepared by loving congregants of Ginter Park United Methodist Church. Some time after noon we broke for North Carolinian BBQ Pork & Peach Cobbler. And by dark, we’d made it to Atlanta and met up with friend of Union, Dorsett, for a dinner in the historic neighborhood home to Ebenezer Baptist Church.
Having checked in, settled into our room, and checked our email, we’re now slowly passing out, one by one, in preparation for tomorrow’s workshops and vigil related events (the action/vigil is Sunday morning).
Stay tuned for more reflections on our journey down and the accompanying pictures. Again, many thanks for your loving thoughts, prayers, and comments. They mean much to us.
Hey y’all,
I’m so happy you have arrived safely–you have been in my thoughts and prayers. Having made the journey twice, I definitely remember how loooong it is. Probably helped a lot to stay in Va. this time! And I miss the Nate shenanigans on the road!
I’m sending my blessings and my solidarity with you as you witness for our Union community today and tomorrow. May our continued resistance to violence in the name of security at SOA, Guantanamo and other places of terror bear fruit–I know for a fact that it will bear fruit in your own lives and those you touch by your witness.
Blessings of peace,
Ammon
