Jim(s)


Thursday, March 13, 2014; 11:44pm

The amount of “Jim”s we’ve met here in Texas is absurd. What’s even more absurd is the impact each of them has had on us as a group, and definitely me personally. We had two speakers this morning: Jim Brazzil, a chaplain for inmate executions and Jim Irwin, the chair of Kairos Prison Ministry. The day finished with a mini concert from Jim Helms who lives next door in a trailer owned by the church. The theme of today seemed to be people (as it always should be) and their individual stories. It was about being present, being vulnerable, and being honest with one another. Right now as I type this I’m missing out on what I emphasize so much when I talk in our reflection: community. So the rest of my typing must be finished later…a night full of Mafia, Spoons, and crazy college students loving each other and trying to change the world awaits.
