Breaking Down . . .the Walls . . .

Grace and Nancy found out that the chance to share Jesus comes at unexpected times. A lady walked into the corps and said that a couple was broke down over at Burger King. So they hopped in a van and went to go find them. After a few missed attempts, they finally saw someone walking on the road and found them.

The couple had broken down over a week ago and were stuck here in Pendleton - maybe by choice, maybe because they had no place to go really, maybe no money - who knows . . .the story changed a little each time it was told . . .but the reality was that they were living under a bridge and hadn't eaten in a couple days (she was pregnant and hadn't felt like walking to the Army for lunch).

So, a short while later, they all (Nancy, Grace, the couple) find themselves sitting together over a dinner table at Denny's - finding out that they aren't so different from each other, thinking that if the tables were turned they might be in similar situations . ..

Bread of man, bread of God . . . Denny's, Jesus . . .showing love, sharing love. They broke down in Pendleton . . .but God broke down the walls.
