This Building Is Alive #4: Amy McKean
As part of celebrating our 5th anniversary, someone who is part of Everyday Joe’s will write something about it each month. Anything from essays to sonnets to interpretive dance. How interpretive dance would translate to this blog, I’m not sure…but it’d be interesting.
Whatever is written, it will come from the life that is in this building. 144 S. Mason seems to be alive and breathing…and it is something you can’t ignore when you walk in. The fourth installation of this series comes from Amy McKean, former volunteer, board member, and Everyday Joe’s accountant. She’s a generally happy lady, and we wish she didn’t move to Denver.
To borrow from the late Mr. Heston, Soilent green is people! Wait, I mean Everyday Joe’s. Everyday Joe’s is people. Sorry, I got sidetracked there for a moment.
Everyday Joe’s.
It’s all about people. It wouldn’t exist without them. There would be no need and no one to run anything. Yeah, it is a really great space, has really great coffee, and a really great life-size cardboard cutout of John Wayne, but what would that mean without the people that come in everyday? The ones that create and admire art, make and drink coffee, and think of creative things for John to do with his time?
You said it. Nothing. It would mean absolutely nada.
The thing that is most amazing about Joe’s is the way you just know God lives there. You just see it in the people. To be quite honest, Joe’s is the place where I fell in love with God. There’s something mysterious about the way God works. And the people at Joe’s embrace the mysteries of God’s workings, they just let him do his thing and love the people he brings through the doors.
