Billowing smoke

Today was something to remember...

After going to Westminster Corps for the Sunday morning service, we were invited to head over to the Captain's house for lunch. There was a big group of us... 9 in all.
As a handful of us were sitting in the livingroom waiting to be called to the table, the room began to fill with smoke...
No one was really bothered by it at first-- then my eyes started to burn, and then another persons and then another...

We were called to the table, every one with burning, tear filled eyes.
The smoke continued to get worse!
We all had tears running down our faces with loud coughs in between. We were all laughing about the situation and enjoying the delicious food...
It turns out the oven was on self-clean mode, and it was quite dirty and burning everything to a crisp-- hence the smoke EVERY WHERE!

So we opened a few windows-- while it was snowing out-- and then laughed and said "This is sure going to be a memory.."
The thing was, we could all laugh about it and have a good time.
I like friends and community: Take it as it is.

Deep Peace.
