update: free franklin
Thanks to all of our friends who helped us pull off FreeFranklin last week. Several people contributed money and manpower to Love Chapel Hill, one quarter at a time. It was exciting to hear our folks coming back with stories of surprised parkers, wondering why someone would do that for them. I like the way Justin put it, saying we were "interrupting the pattern of their daily routine" with unexpected love.
Even our DS (my pops) and our Assistant DS (Ernest Mullins, our greatest champion) participated in this quiet conspiracy. We are consistently moved and humbled by this kind of support and belief from our friends and leaders. One of my favorite moments from the day came when a guy gave dad two quarters to "help with the cause." Love is contagious. Pray that we keep catching it. And giving it away.

i love what you're doing. just reading and listening to what "y'all" are doing inspires us to be better followers of our rabbi!
btw - the Michigan State Spartans are gonna get some pay back when they head down to Chapel Hill! So be prepared for that action!
Awesome, crazy love.
Big ups! We pray for yall!
Hey Matt!
I was happy to find your blog.
You and your wife have been on my mind a lot. I'd love to make a connect with your wife through e-mail. My e-mail is sarahcanney@yahoo.ca if she's open to meeting a new friend. I'm not into prying but just want to send a note of encouragement.
Blessings!
Sarah
Matt,
I love this! Open giving with no strings.
