I am going to talk a little about the Men's week-end.

Okay I tried not to take any pictures of people. The reason is VDC. Is more about community. That is folks working together to make these week-ends happen. So on Saturday morning we started making the sauce for the lasagna. I cooked up the sausage and ground beef. Using three frying pans. It all worked out great. Then we started with mixing all the neat stuff together. Then every five minutes someone had to stir the pots. At the end the sauce tasted great. 

Needed 16 boxes of noodles. 

Now is the fun part making the  lasagna. These are some of the community, putting it together. I was the sauce guy. I put the sauce on each level. 

We made up 12 pans and even had two pans left to give away at the end of the week-end. 

Now I was given a job to make whip cream for the strawberry short cake. All that was put in here was half an half and some confection sugar. Then using the electric beater. It did take a while. 

At the end it tasted soooooo GOOD. 

The strawberries and cakes were delicious. I think we gave these out for desert (lunch time) 

Okay we are into Sunday morning. We had four pans going with eggs. These frying pans really hold a lot and the eggs didn't burn at all. 

So now the week-end is winding down. I can tell you this. As I started on Wednesday and Thursday getting the kitchen set up and shopping (with Greg) That night was a rough one for me. Not much sleep. But I guess I didn't need it? Oh we sleep on cots and they really are not that comfortable. 

BUT as Sunday is here, the week-end is almost done. It was by the Holy Spirit I made it thru. Plus a lot of coffee and lemon aid with ice tea mixed in. 

Folks I have not been on a full week-end for over 10 -11 years. So I say sure no problem. Love to make it happen. Well the old body is not use to standing for the whole day. 6 am to 9 pm. It took a toll on my legs. I did have some ibuprofen and I made it thru to the end. 

So as we wind down, I had a few ladies in the kitchen with me helping take our stuff out to the dinning hall. Have to take inventory and put everything back into the correct boxes and put back into the trailer. I think the kitchen is looking better than we we got there. But that is why these different churches let us use them facilities. If they wouldn't we would not be able to make these week-ends happen. All I can say is PRAISE THE LORD FOR THE HELPERS. Then at the end of Sunday you hear story after stories about how God changed these guy or talked to his guy. It is all about WHAT HE IS DOING IN OUR LIVES. 

Not about how good the food tasted or what the talks were about. No THIS IS HIS (LORDS) WEEK-END. 

I got back home on Sunday night around 6 pm and just chilled and went to bed and slept GREAT. PRAISE HIM. Remember this Friday is GOOD FRIDAY. Because of what He Did For US.
