I'm so proud of myself. (My I.T. friend is proud too.) He's teaching me so many new things about websites and blogs and e-mails. He's cool (but I will have to destroy him in our Fantasy Football league this year ).

I recently learned how to imbed a video into my e-news updates. Don't worry. I won't be making a habit of this, because I'm using a digital camera that has the ability to shoot low quality, short clips. It's nothing professional. (By the way: If you have a better quality digital video camcorder and would like to help us film some videos for these e-news updates, send me an e-mail: tim@ ... Read More »

A week of serving guests, praying for guests, listening to their problems and concerns, and sharing the Gospel completely drained me. And, I needed to get back to the cafe Saturday morning to open the doors for the Medina High School ENCORE club. ENCORE is a competitive show choir made up of singers, dancers, instrumentalists, and crew members at the high school. This talented bunch of teens spent almost all day in the hot tropical-like-Medina-sun washing cars to raise money, spraying each other wit ... Read More »

Hi all!

First, I want to thank all of you who were able to make it to the OPENHOUSE on the 14th.  Harish counted over 75 people between 7-9:00pm.  That was so encouraging.  We are thrilled that a few more people took volunteer applications and others offered to send food.  Thanks so much. 

We had a great time at Weymouth Services and the Sunday School classes. There were lots of questions asked and comments made.  Please feel free to call me anytime.  We would love to present the Cafe to other social organizations! 

The latest on Michael is that he is in jail because he missed his court date.  This is always hard for me because I know how long it took me to stop trying to take charge of my boys' lives ... Read More »

Those who liked the "bike" e-mail I sent a couple months ago are gonna' love this one! A guest's bike at the cafe was taken last week by a group of kids. So, we cruised the streets of Medina in search of his stolen wheels. We couldn't find the bike. So, once again, I lent him a used bike hanging upside down from the hooks in my garage. It was a form of transportation until we found out what happened to his bike.

This past Sunday was Mollie's birthday. Mindee, Mollie, and I returned home from a relaxing evening out. Mindee pulled "black beauty" (our '96 chevy cavalier) into the driveway of our house. She pushed t ... Read More »

We secretly asked a Christian magician to “appear” at the café. He sent me an e-mail about his time there. This is totally cool! Enjoy!

Hi Tim,

I wanted to let you know how it went last Wednesday at the Cafe.

First of all, the people who are working at Cafe 41:11 are top notch. They greeted me right away and allowed me to meet and entertain people as God provided. As you know, there are all ages and types of people at the Cafe, and the volunteers were helpful and courteous to all of the guests. I ... Read More »
