a quick post in iowa

We are now well into the second half of our road trip and slowly headed back toward the west coast. We spent a few days in Cincinnati, OH with our dear friends at Vineyard Central. Kevin and Tracy Rains, hosted us at the Brownhouse–our midwest home away from home. Unfortunately, we missed the convergence of a bunch of great friends new and old by a day. But we still had a good, relaxing time while in town. Our friend, Jeremiah Griswold has become and amazing tattoo artist now, working over at Mother’s Tattoo. He took the time to touch up Jason’s “Zion” tattoo on his right wrist. He also added the “elpida” tattoo to Jason’s right arm, something he’s been wanting to do for a long time.

Wednesday, we headed for Indianapolis, IN for our next Justice Kitchen event. Our friend, Chris Smith extended the invitation to us and we were hosted by his church, Englewood Christian Church. Englewood is doing some great things in their community. We were really inspired. We met some wonderful people while in town and caught up with our new friend, Eric–who visited us just a few months ago. We hope to potentially be back at Englewood for the Godspeed the Plough! event in November.

Thursday morning, we drove north towards Grand Rapids, MI where our friends from Water’s Edge hosted us and held a Justice Kitchen class that night. Friday, we headed west again with a few days before our Justice Kitchen class in Fort Collins, CO with Revolution Church–which we are looking forward to. Yesterday, before getting into Des Moines, IA, we visited the historical villages of the Amana Society–a cluster of Christian, communal, pacifist towns in Iowa. Amazing! After visiting Java Jone’s Coffee this morning, we are headed west again.

We will post photos tonight!
