Am I lucky, or what????

Here I was at our church Christmas "un-banquet", sitting at table with 3 gentlemen...uhhhhhum-m-m-m-m-m

One was Dutch-Canadian.....and very handsome.

One was French-Africian.......also very handsome.

One was French-Canadian......handsome too and rich (relatively speaking).

Then there was me.........

Our table had the highest bid for the dessert table so we had the privilege of choosing first.

We chose the 12" diameter coconut cream pie (with real whipped cream on top!)

Just how lucky can one girl get!!?????

And all the folks who attended the "un-banquet" raised $450. to go towards the Rainy River church building project.

It's good to be a part of something so much larger than ourselves!!! (although after eating all that pie, I'm not sure if there IS anything larger than ourselves!!!)

We even discussed the question as to whether God thought it was gluttony, if we were eating like hogs, in order to fund a good cause! It was unanimous......we figured it was not gluttony, only big appetites.

May God have mercy on us all..........and pass the cream puffs............

Eating for Jesus. Well, I can't really think of a more enjoyable way to be a disciple.

Ya, but we end up having heart surgeries for Jesus too. I'll have to rethink the whole mess.
