StreetLevel has a small storefront space on 6th Ave in the International District of Seattle. Perhaps it's ironic, but the street is anything but level. There is a massive hill. For any who don't know, my wife Erin is VERY pregnant... her due date is tomorrow, actually. It is a challenge for her to walk up this hill to get to our house. We discovered a couple of weeks ago that I can walk behind her actually pushing he up the hill as she leans back. For her, the street is level and the walking is doable. We have gotten a couple of strange looks doing this, but it does work.
I smile at what I think is a little parable of the Kingdom - a glimse of the community of Christ in motion. The irony doesn't escape me that StreetLevel is founded on Isaiah 40:3-5 which you can read on the banner at the top of this blog.
