Bobby came to work with me the other day and received these lovely flowers. We meet all sorts on Queen Street West. Some of the most interesting have spent some time down at the CAMH (the mental health hospital down on Queen West West). The flowers came from a lady who comes into the store every week. She has some mental health issues and always refers to 'the president'. On the other hand, is always praying in and about the store and for us too. I think she was visiting her late husband's plot or something. When came into the store she insisted we have these bea-u-tiful flowers.

When we heard of the murder on Queen Street West we thought the streets will be 'swept'. This was scary because we love many of the Queen Street West involved folks. However the opposite seems to have happened or maybe I'm just noticing more. It seems to have become 'the vogue' place for 'street tourists'. Hopefully, we'll have more chances to love on them & point to Jesus.

On a side note, the following article may shed some light on the plight of some of the street involved in our area.
