“Coopers Town”


I very recently reconnected with a childhood friend of mine.   We were best friends since the age of hmm... maybe 6 and it continued until I was around 21 – we drifted apart and thanks to Facebook reconnected and now being back in each other’s’ lives like no time had passed at all. Doing life together. So amazing!

Everyday we send each other Whatsapp voice notes and talk about our day and just like friends do – chat with each other, help, advice and prayer. Anyway, I was sending her one of my voice notes and telling her about the work I did with Alice Cooper and our church here in Phoenix and it jogged a fun memory.

When I first joined Phoenix First Assembly (Now, Dream City Church) – I discovered that Alice Copper and his wife. Sheryl belonged to the church and have a huge Youth outreach program.  This program helps Teens discover musical talents. They have a place where they can come enjoy music, coffee and food and learn how to Jam. Also, it is like a recreational place to get Teens off the streets and away from drugs and boredom.

So for a time I helped mentor a couple of teens. Which is a huge stretch for me, as I do not like Teenagers at ALL hahahaha
But it was a fun, fulfilling and eye opening experience. Alice is a very down to earth and weird guy!

Adventures

For Robert's Birthday (October 8th)



 We went on a desert Buggie experience,  we tore through the desert. I was disappointed though; it wasn’t adventurous enough for Robert because our guide was taking it really slow. So, it was a bust – well, I just have to find a better one next time.

Until next post..
