Cheeky Food Group – Team Cooking Extravaganza


Our annual office Christmas Party was a bit unusual this year. We met at a Bowling Club and cooked our own gourmet meal.

The food was great, but it was a lot of hard work at the end of a long week, especially since we had to do the preparation, cooking and clean up! I almost lost my eyebrows trying to light a low pressure gas cooker.

I personally wouldn't be rushing to re-live the experience for the annual Christmas Party, but as a team building event during the day time, it would probably be a lot more fun.

Many of the people put their faith in him

Jesus went on to say, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know who I am. You will also know that I don't do anything on my own. I say only what my Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. I always do what pleases him, and he will never leave me."

After Jesus said this, many of the people put their faith in him.

John 8:28-30
I find it fascinating to observe John’s commentary that after Jesus’ words here, many of the people listening put their faith in him. Why, what was so significant about these remarks? I believe that they communicate a depth of relationship between Jesus and the Father that must have been incredibly attractive to his listeners. They would have seen the miracles; so beginning to comprehend the love relationship between Jesus and the Father that motivated and empowered him must have been breathtaking.

Movember is over -- at last!!!

The mo is no more -- hooray!

It is very nice to have my upper lip back. I was able to raise over $300 for the various charities, so it has been a success. I am thinking of getting a team together at my work for next year.
