 It’s 5:40pm and the meat is not done, but it will be.  I wonder if I cooked this right?  Its 5:50pm thankfully someone volunteered to set up the tables.  Its 5:55.  I know of 4 people that are coming for sure.  I guess I can eat 15 tacos if I have to.  We bring the food upstairs, and by 6:10 there’s not an empty seat.  I should have known.  Every Sunday works out.  We make lots of food in hope that someone will come to eat, and every week the food is gone.  15-20 hungry, poor, college students come out of the rooms and join in on the fun.
 Every Sunday a couple of us get together to make a meal for the campus.  Everyone brings $2, and the costs seem to get covered.  I have thoroughly enjoyed this time together.  It makes my heart so happy to see people coming together sitting down at a very large table and enjoying one another’s company and hopefully the food as well.  I love to see the variety of students that come and to see us all at one table; it’s a glimpse of the Kingdom.  I want to thank those of you that have offered your help to prepare the food or to help clean up afterwards; that has been a true blessing.  I have truly enjoyed doing these Sunday dinners, and have really enjoyed the fellowship that comes from it.  A big family Sunday dinner is what I have always wanted to be part of.  Thanks to those of you who attend and eat up all the food.

[Editor’s Note: And thank YOU on behalf of the students, Brittany Rice (and Drew Peterson), for being an example of service in action and willingly and diligently preparing these meals each week.]
