Saturday night I, along with my wife and two other couples, had the opportunity to go to Washington DC for a night of fine food, fellowship, and a great discussion topic.
After reading several books by Rob Bell, Pastor in Grand Rapids Michigan, we headed up to hear him speak on his new book - Drop Like Stars. Not really knowing I was there for two hours of discussion, Rob unpacked our thinking process in how we view suffering and persecution in our lives. He creatively invited us into the discussion through video background, bars of soap for sculpting, and golf pencils to be used for writing with the opposite hand. Through each of these elements, we, the crowd on the campus of George Washington Univ., grasped a better understanding of how suffering and pain can be used to shape our lives and share our story of God's love with those right beside us.
The discussion was great! But the food..oh the food was awesome. We began our night at the Bistro Du Coin - a french restaurant located in downtown DC. There I enjoyed the fine food that consisted of smoked mackrel with salad, moules rouqefort, and duck breast with gravy and flan. Being the want-a-be chef I am, it was amazing. And to think after all that, I stayed awake to be inspired.
I think you need to post the pics of the meal. They looked as good as they tasted!
