As usual we had some great food and fellowship. When entering everyone received a safety pin they pined on their shirt and were told what the tabu word was and were told if they could get someone to say the word, they would win their pins. So people were milling around enjoying the conversation unaware some were stethaly trying to steal their pin. Some of the more aggressive people (Sal!) started accumulating pins and wearing them as a badge of honor.

Then the Matting Game started. We did three rounds with 3 prospects in each round and a contestant in another room asking questions of all three. Some answers were lame (they aint gonna find a date any time soon). Some were gut splitting funny. Each prospect disguised their voice. That was funny in itself. Ever her a suthern accent from a New Yorker? And some were very deep.

We then did some heart felt Praise and Worship. Sal & Noe played and the music and testimonies were soooo good. The whole time throughout the night, people were stealing pins and sal had them all. Then, the quite, masked Dina who was so timed and shy throughout the night, as a Damsel in distress, timidly asked Sal a question. She was so sincere. He answered her and then a big smile broke out on her face as she held out her hand, pointing to the string of safety pins Sal had on his chest. With only one attempt, she became the champion of the pins. That was so fun, we will do that one again. It's not the first time I've been stung by a pretty woman@#%$^^&%$%#$

The best part was that some opened their heart and connected with others because the truth is most if not all of us are hurting, lonely and in need of laughter, companionship and acceptance. That was accomplished. The night was given to God and he came through.
