"My Life!  My Church!" ...   The video below is truly amazing!  It is Columbia through the eyes of a homeless person.  Every picture was shot by Michael, one of the many homeless people on our streets.  They were captured during a three week period starting just before Christmas 2007, and ending in mid-January 2008.    You may be able to discern from this special portfolio that Michael's life on Columbia's streets centers on his "outside church" and Finlay Park.  As you reflect on the photos, we hope they will also say something to you about our homeless neighbors and the really awesome churches that serve in our great city!    By the way, the first five to ten photos may amaze those of you who study them carefully.  Michael brings the sensitivity of a true artist to his photography.  He manages to find the unique angles at some very familiar sites in our capital city.  Micahel shares the beauty of Columbia from a perspective that only one who is a fixture on our streets can share.  Blessings!
