13 Dec 07 Feast For A King

[NOTE:  THE FOLLOWING BLOG CONTAINS A GRATUITOUS SHOT AT MY DEAR FRIEND GREG.  THE COMMENTS EXPRESSED WITHIN DO NOT REFLECT THE VIEWS OF THE ADMINISTRATION THEY ARE SIMPLY INCLUDED FOR THEIR COMEDIC VALUE]

One of the great things about cooking for people who have grown accustomed to eating in the garage (as they still have no kitchen) is that anything cooked (and hot) is viewed as a 5 star offering.

Which is why in ministry you should always follow someone who was not as skilled as you.

Which is why people lined up to follow Greg. (And of course I mean that in the nicest way possible)

One of our members offered to cook for us and last night was our only available night.

We ate on real plates, with real silverware and cloth napkins.

Our poor "Appalachian" kids had thought they’d died and gone to Missouri!

Squash soup with sour cream

Asparagus and new potatoes

Dinner rolls (with butter of course)

Chicken with mushrooms, cheese, and mandarin oranges.

Three layer chocolate, peppermint cheesecake

It was a feast.

We drove home from church and the kids said:  "that was cool, it felt like we were celebrity eaters on Top Chef."
