San Francisco Marathon


















On Sunday Mike & Louie ran another marathon--- yes that's right another marathon. That makes their third one this year......can you believe it. Way to go guys! Michele got in on the action and ran the 1/2 marathon plus some additional miles when she got back in the race and continued on with Mike. It was so great to have a cheering team there to be encouraged.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
We saw on the shirts of several people who were running and boy is that the truth.
Louie recently graduated and is living off site at Sober Living, but continues to be plugged in and to be an encouragement to the other men at The Bridge. When Louie came in last July he had 2 boxes, a bottle of bleach, and a willing heart that's it........ If you have a willing heart all things really are possible, and Louie has been able to see that. His two bags and bottle of bleach have grown. He left with a truck load of stuff, a job, two marathons under his belt (and now a 3rd). But, more then that he left with a renewed strength and relationship with Jesus. Thank you God
for your mercy in our lives.
