Friday Night Lights

We're from Texas.
So that means that just about every football stadium 'round these parts is lit up on Fall Friday nights.

This Fall, our living room lights will be lit up on Friday nights.

This opportunity just fell into our laps, but we're beyond excited about what's going on in our home on Friday nights.

Our living room has become the new meeting place for an International Church!

I'd be lying if I didn't admit that one of the big reasons we're excited about this is the food.

Everyone brings something they cooked at home, usually something native to their country, and for a big buffet/family style dinner. I'm the cool Texan that contributed homemade salsa and chips. It wasn't a huge hit...though not because they were afraid to try it, but because everyone else's stuff was WAY better. I might not add anything to the table this week for fear of rejection! :)

Then we move to the living room and worship Christ, our Savior!

Because Hilary (above) is too cool for school, she can play the guitar AND sing in Chinese. Which was really awesome this past week because everyone that came was from The Big Chicken.

We're hoping for some more diversity because the local university is off the charts when it comes to the Nations that are represented.

But for now, Chinese it is! Which is cool because it's essentially a room full of language tutors for us.

Join us! You don't have to have a cool accent or another skin color to attend.

Really, is there anything cooler than the body of Christ meeting in your living room?
