Every year, the City of Okinawa sponsors a huge marathon. Thousands of people participate in this island wide event. The race starts and finishes at Comprehensive Park which is right down the street from us. Because of the race and traffic, many of the roads are closed which makes it very difficult to get home after church.... so while others run.... we eat!
Okay... I have to be honest... we have the absolute best cooks on island here at this church. All of the dishes were so yummy. I don't know why we don't do this more often. We need more marathons.
Here's the "grill masters" hard at work. They cooked up the burgers and hotdogs... even some Korean short-ribs that Regan made! They rocked. Our good brother Jesus was thoughtful enough to save me some.
Even standing in line can make for some great fellowship. Once again... you guessed it... God blessed us with a great day, held back the rain so that we could celebrate His goodness. I get the sense that this is what the early church was like. God's word, prayer, fellowship and the breaking of bread... maybe minus the hotdogs... but other than that... yeah, Acts 2:42.
