Or Discipleship in action

Sometime around 1978-9, I was living in Bellingham Washington. I moved there after leaving Vancouver Canada. Which was the result of a failed attempt at staying in Vancouver and attending the Emily Carr College of Art.  

There was this cafe called the Old Town Cafe, It was known for its good inexpensive food and the staff was friendly. 

I rented an art studio down the street so the Cafe was a great place to get a meal and a bottomless cup of coffee.

I got to know the owner, Chuck, who use to tell everyone that God owned the place he just managed it.  there were bibles on the tables, propped against the hot sauce and ketchup. Should anyone be a bit down on their luck a meal was provided, perhaps in exchange for washing dishes, or some sort of trade. 

One day chuck said to me  "David, the Lord told me to make a place for you here. I don't know-how, we don't need any help, but we will see." Several days later or maybe weeks, a person quit and I was offered a job as a waiter. 

I don't remember if the club actually existed. I do remember wearing this while working.
