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.

Tell Somebody!

Go in peace and safety as you leave from Union tomorrow. Our prayers will go with you.

I would like to dedicate the comments attached to this space for anyone who cares to do so to leave a message of hope, encouragement or prayer.

Tell Somebody!

UTS and Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary students

It’s really been almost a year since driving 30+ hours over one weekend to get to and from furthest Georgia. I won’t be going to this year’s action in body, but my prayers and thoughts will be with the UTS delegation who are going.

I hope that this blog can be of service to the Union community by keeping our demonstrators connected with the rest of us who cannot pack into a minivan and make the long drive for justice. Please take a look at last year’s page and at the blog entries from last year’s demonstrators.
