Last evening friends invited us to join them at a dinner show put on by the Junior Class at Rain Forrest International School.  RFIS is the mission high school that our youngest son, David attended 25 years ago.  

We had a great time.  Good food.  Good entertainment.  Good friends.  Laughed a lot.  English only spoken.  A large room full of white people.  Amazing!

We never go out and do stuff like this.  I mean like never, ever, ever.  Except when someone drags us out.  And on those rare times we always tell our selves "This was fun.  We don't do this kind of thing often enough."  

And then we slip right back into our very busy, very fulfilling ministry.  Mostly Africans.  Lots and lots of French.  Totally different culture.  And we love every minute of it.  

But it's good to escape into the Western culture once every great long while.
