Another Wedding

Thursday night we went to another wedding. This for for the son of a lady from the gym. It was the nicest wedding I have been to. We left our house around 8:00PM and were still some of the first people there. It was at some Constitution Club that is for members only. There were video cameras capturing the arrivals of people and then it was broadcast on two big screens in the area.

So we found a spot to sit and the kebabs started coming. The servers brought us different chicken kebabs, veg kebabs and fish. They were all so tasty. And then the kids noticed the drink area where there were many different kinds of mocktails. Most of those were not too great, lots of rose water or other strange drinks. So we ate more and more kebabs. Since there were so few people at first we got a lot of attention from the servers.

After about an hour of kebabs the food started. Thai, Mongolian, Chinese, Italian, and India. There is this fabulous sweet bread that is at all weddings and this was the best ever. I had a bit of biryani (rice dish with meat) and I tried some Thai food. There was a fruit area and desserts too. So I got some jellabi, which is a yummy fried sweet dish. Cakes, ice creams, halva, and lots more.

We were able to get home by 10:00PM, which is probably the earliest we have ever returned from a wedding. So all and all, this was the best wedding ever.

Hot town!

Of course you have heard me complain about the heat lately. This will be a regular thing for the next couple of months. I looked on CNN weather page to see just how hot it was and it said at midnight that it was "99 and dreary". So true. We are thankful for electricity and air conditioners. When I do aerobics I turn the a/c on and it makes it bearable. You would think that the fat would just melt off. The problem is that ice cream is so cold and refreshing. Then there are mango shakes. yum.

Redeemed

Psalm 49:7-8 “No man can by any means redeem his brother.  Or give to God a ransom for him.  For the redemption of his soul is costly.” It is an amazing thing when someone comes to faith in God.  Last night I got to witness my brother in-law give his life to Jesus.  His life was redeemed.  The ransom for his soul was paid by Jesus long ago, but yesterday he was set free. My brother in-law was in darkness.  He knows his life was full of darkness and demonic presence.  He has been hearing about Jesus for years and knew that if he ever decided to become a follower that he would do it completely, not half heartedly.  He finally saw that he needed Jesus.  So yesterday he prayed a beautiful prayer acknowledging his need to get rid of the darkness in his life and knowing he can’t do it on his own.  Jesus filled his life.  My brother in-law said he felt something leave.  It was the darkness.  Jesus has filled his life...

The Party

Last night I went to Allison's (sis in-law) batchlorette party. It was at a mexican restaurant/bar. It was a very crowded place so we weren't able to get a big table all together. Allison and her girl friends were at one table and the old folks (me and others) were at our own table (feeling awkward). Allison showed up at the place drunk already, from a bit too many drinks in the limo. I thought it would be embarrassing to be around your mother in-law to-be and your grandmother in-law to-be, but she didn't seem too worried about it. Allison wasn't a bad drunk really. She was a little loud, but not obnoxious. I felt old. I had a new dress on, but I ended up looking like an old lady instead of a young thing. I had some nice shoes on too. But my purse, which looked fine at home, turned into an old lady purse. It was also cold out, so I had a shawl. I'm glad I had it but it just added to the old lady look. I don't drink for two reasons. First, I am che...
