Tonight we were treated to dinner by a team from Dixon, Illinois. We decided to branch out from our standard French Quarter suggestions by going to Acme Oyster House in Metarie. I planned to order something familiar and had already checked out the menu before we went. However, one of the team members ordered fried oysters and, giving in to peer pressure, I tried one. Above is the evidence of my first taste. Yes, I did manage to finish and swallow, but I can't say that I'll have that experience twice. :)

On another note, last week when my head hurt so bad I said to someone here that we should start praying for a team member who was a massage therapist. I kind of forgot about the comment (and never did pray that prayer), until tonight as we were leaving the restaurant and we found out that one of the women and a massage business in her home. Praise the Lord! We came home and each got a 10 minute chair massage. What a blessing! I have been needed and wanting that for so many weeks now. God is so good to provide those things that we may not necessarily need, but makes life a life abundant.
