It was tough as hell there for a while, living in community, fighting the government, the Omaha World-Herald, the Omaha Catholic Church, trying to keep families together, trying to keep body and soul together, in and out of jail, and all the fear and struggle and pain that goes with that. Shee-it.
And eventually we went separate ways.
Kevin and Laura didn't go that far though. They still live in North Omaha. They still work with the poor, live among the poor, every day.
That is what a Christian does.
I'm just sure of it.
I realized it as I was watching Kevin over the top of my mocha-docha-latte, listening to him catch me up on the last year or so, that's what I was seeing, someone who has fought the good fight, over the long haul.
That is just what we planned to do all those years ago.
Kevin. Dude, you did it.
Proud to know ya.
Okay, if tomorrow is Tuesday, I'll be in Tulsa.
