The Hound of Heaven

D is one of the sweetest men you could ever meet - except when he's been drinking. The change that comes over certain street people when they are intoxicated is drastic. Several days ago D was climbing a building across the street from the church. He lost his balance on the roof and tumbled two stories onto Queen Street. Thankfully he did not land on anyone. And thankfully his life was spared - but not his legs. Both of D's legs were broken and it appears that he will be laid up for quite some time recovering and relearning to walk (he will likely be in the rehab hospital for 4-6 weeks). His body will likely never be the same.
One of the amazing things about God is that He will go to any length to seek and save his chosen ones. In the rehab clinic D is now safe from the temptation of alcohol and is being visited by members of TAC. May God break through and bring complete healing from D's drug of choice. And when D emerges from rehab, may he be a completely transformed individual; may he be a sharp tool God uses to bring healing to others.

  1. Just learned that the chaplain in the rehab hospital seems to be a solid Baptist.
