Your title "Authentic Community in San Antonio" leads to the obvious question; where are the counterfeit communities in San Antonio?

Anon, not my intention to compare communities, but to spotlight the authenticity that is clearly at work here.

In the description it states "two residents of Lincoln Heights Courts" which doesn't convey the full significance of what both Mrs. Edith and Ms. Jennifer have created. Ms. Jennifer is the arts coordinator for Urban Connections in San Antonio but doesn't live in the courts. As soon as she was healthy enough to start working again, she came back to Urban. Ms. Edith is one of the most dedicated volunteers and parents at Urban. The message of pure love and sincere appreciation expressed by both women defies all cultural biases, it removes superficiality, and it gives a glimpse into what/who GOD is. Their inner beauty has amplified their outer beauty. They have made manifest the glory of GOD that is within them. This is what heaven looks like... This is what heaven feels like... imagine that.
