Bye Bye Boring Breakfast!

That's the theme for Joel's cooking class this season. The Bible study part of the class is called, "Breakfast with Psalms." I'm not sure how many times now that Joel has offered this class, but last night was my very first time to join in the fun of fellowship through creative cooking. Thanks to the expertise of our teacher, we (Erica, Atsuko, and I) fried up some pretty delicious mexican dishes: chorizos, huevoes rancheros, and tropical fruit smoothies. Yum!

When the cooking part was finally finished, we sat down to a mountain of food! Even pregnant Atsuko wasn't able to finish it all! After that, we began our "Breakfast with Psalms" time. We each shared what our image of God is, read Psalms 103, and then compared David's image with our own. Atsuko said, "I think I have about the same image of God as David." It was really really neat for me to see how God is revealing Himself to Atsuko. Our conversation ended and we cleaned up for the night.

It was a pretty low-key night, but oh so fun! I have a new appreciation for the way Joel ministers in this class, and what a good teacher he is. There are great opportunities for people to connect to each other as well as with the Word of God. Can't imagine that there will be a bored student in this class!
