The Kids said Thanks!

 After being with some amazing students for a whole year, I received some fun goodbye/thank you cards that my have put a few tears in my eyes.  Every day, 5 days a week, when school was in session, I was sharing God's Word and training them in Biblical history and I loved every minute of it.  I pray that the Name of the Lord was glorified and that the kids grew in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Mostly Meat...

 Moses and I absolutely love hosting, and to be honest, I think KK's goes a little overboard. A few years ago, our home was named KK's, meaning Karen's Kitchen.  And this December didn't fail to live up to the name. Although the kitchen is now MoKa's - Moses and Karen's.

A group of friends from Soroti came home for 4 days, so we finished our time together with a good, old-fashioned pork roast.

Then we got set for loads of Christmas festivities at home.

The end of year UCC (University Community Church) membership meeting was held at home.

Pastor Jimmy presented a wonderful summary of the year's activities, successes, and outreaches, and we wrapped up the night with another big meal.

This heavy bird was one of two turkeys that were prepped for Christmas dinner.  I had a young man come and slaughter the bird... as in take its life, but then I do all the cleaning and de-feathering.  A long process, and much easy on chickens.

Can I just be honest?  Moses loves his pork and I have to join him!

He gave up grilling this way and finished roasting it in the oven.

I'm so thankful that I have a husband who takes his time in God's Word more serious than meat.  It's another FOOD that he Chews on and Delights in often.

This was our Christmas party at church - another great meal shared.

And then Christmas day had 18 people in our home...

I can't believe 5 of us ladies found space to do the last minute dishes for Christmas dinner.

I look forward to having a home where even larger crowds can gather.

By the time Christmas was over, we were a little crazy!!

Soul Sistaz

Listen up Sistaz!

 On Friday evenings at church, there is a gathering called Soul Sistaz.  Most of the young ladies whom attend are university students from the campus next door.  There is a time for fun and games, Bible study and worship, as well as snacks and fellowship.  And, as I have learned the last two terms, we finish off the term with a fun slumber party.  I believe I will be hosting the next one.  

Some groups are bigger, some are smaller.  Honestly, it depends on the topic.  Some girls don't want overly religious discussions, or to be held accountable in purity and integrity.  But for those who come, there has been some great sharing and growth.
