Monday night awesomeness

Well, after a somewhat relaxing weekend at home, having everyone in the same house we were treated to an amazing event on Monday night. The men in our Sunday School class get together every third Monday for BBQ, fellowship and prayer time. Well, about twon months ago, one the guys had an idea about a pig roast at his place and inviting a buinch of folks over to celebrate. Well, things grew and grew and he felt led, through prayer and seeking God's face, to hold not only the BBQ, but have a fund raiser for Megan as well. In the last two weeks, this went from maybe 20-30 guys up to maybe 50-75. Not only that, but one of the gentlemen that's a member of the church is good friends with Lex Luger, yes The Total Package, and was able to secure him to come give his testimony. And it was simply AMAZING! He has been through so much in his life and you can check it out here at his wiki page. Most recently, suffering a spinal stroke and losing a lot of his mobility. Also, in attendance, was Brian Daniels. The only way I can describe his art, and the way he desribes it as well, is called shadow art. He takes a blank canvas, with some color on it, and adds shadowing to bring out a bigger picture. Youtube below, along with before and after pictures from the BBQ do it no justice. By the way, the second set of pictures, in black and white, was the first time he had done that picture in public. He auctioned those off and also, there was a raffle. All I can say, was that I hardly kept a dry face throughout the event. Stacy got up and gave a brief testimony that was absolutely inspiring. God was in that tent Monday night and we give Him all the glory, honor and praise. Take care everyone and have a blessed day.

Thanks to LtBLarg (Drew) for coming as well and taking these pictures.

Nice photo dude! Lex Lugar, that's kick ass. I've got a photo of myself with Randy Savage and one with the late Bam Bam Bigalo, but no Lex. Grat's on it all.
