Two pizzas on the way

(L-R: Steve #6, John, Steven, Dewey-whose-name-isn't-really-Dewey, Wes, Gabe, & neighbor Jacob)

If this looks like a bunch of trouble and a bunch of fun, you're right. This is a pretty typical Thursday night at our house. We invite a bunch of single folks over to hang out, have dinner/snacks, watch a TV show and play games. Tonight has been a really fun one and I wanted to share it with you all.
Some of the guys played poker, some of us played Scrabble (no, "ve" is not a word), and then there were several games of Skipbo and Uno.
We really have a great time with these guys, getting to know them, where they come from, and where they are in life. And they really seem to hang around a lot (something about not going home alone to a 9x13 GI dorm room).
Pray for good time, and good conversations with these guys and others. We want to really show them Jesus, as Christmas comes our work gets more and more exciting in my opinion!

Thanks for checking up on us!

p.s. would you believe at the point this picture was taken at least 3 guys and 2 girls had already left for the evening. We know how to pack 'em in here!

p.p.s. and the downstairs neighbor who I was worried would be bothered by the noise, actually brought us up a plate of baked goods! Nice girl :)

  3. Wow baked goods...where are my neighbors with baked goods? Guess I need to start a ministry.

    "God has called me to serve Him."

    Why is that Andrew?

    "Because that way I will have all the baked goods I can eat."

    Um that isn't why we serve God?

    "What?! Well then never mind."
