Christmas games

I don't care WHO you are...you would have had fun today at Emmaus Biblical Seminary!

 As Belony shared while DJing the event with the sound system normally used for  chapel services: "Here at Emmaus Biblical Seminary, we don't just teach the Bible!  NO!  We don't just teach English!  NO!  You don't just learn Hebrew and Greek!  NO!  You don't just learn to preach and teach and evangelize!  No NO!  Here at EBS we learn how to have FUN!"

Lily is proving to be as good of a student in this as any.

There were about a dozen kids hanging in that tree the whole time...see 'em?

The mid-match game today was, "The Game of Water" (in French) or "The Spit the Water in the Coke" game, as Lily called it.  

 Contestants started at one end of the soccer field by drinking water out of these bowls without touching them, then running to the other end, and spitting all the water they could into a Coke bottle without knocking it over or touching it, over and over again, until somebody filled theirs (which as you can see from the first pictures, was like winning the million dollar lottery).

 The use of the sound system to 'broadcast' the whole game brought in dozens of members of the community, which made things extra fun (and was good for the community to be a part of, too.)

The DJ's took the broadcasting very seriously, with sideline interviews, play by play commentary, and creative cheers.  These guys are grown men with such heavy burdens and responsibilities on their shoulders.  But give them Coke bottles to spit in and a microphone and we were able to see the boys :) I was laughing so hard :)

By the end, there were another dozen community members hanging over the wall, all young men, "too cool for school" as Matt says...I was touched by what a great example Emmaus' men were.  Kind to each other, respectful, clean, uplifting.  His light shone so brightly in the students, today, intermingled with the community...what a great way to honor Christmas.  

Tomorrow, musical chairs, which I HATE that we'll be missing.  The elementary school down the road is having their Christmas play, and Lily is anxious to go!
