An Ethiopian Thanksgiving meal

Every Tuesday that I am home from touring with WILLET, I attend a small group Bible study called a "cell group" as part of my home church, Quest Community Church. We pray together, study scripture, and discuss the sermon from the previous week. We also serve in the community on various projects and help families in need. 

This past week, our friends hosted a "pre-thanksgiving" meal at their home. As we sat down to pray, I noticed that there was no silverware to eat with? As we prepared to eat, we also realized that we were not about to take part in a traditional turkey dinner. We were engaging in an Ethiopian tradition of Injera and wot! I had tasted this for the first time last february in Africa, and vowed to never eat it again :) .  

We tried our best to honor the Ethiopian custom of using only our right hand to eat with, and did quite well eating the injera and wot. It got a bit messy when we tried to scoop salad and mashed potatoes using only our hand, however, it made for a great time of fellowship. Below are some pictures of this unique thanksgiving meal! 

Happy Thanksgiving! 

Baltimore Ravens vs. Philadelphia Eagles

This week, WILLET is off the road for a week vacation over Thanksgiving before the Christmas tour starts on Black Friday. I have enjoyed time with family and being home for a few days. 

This past Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend a BALTIMORE RAVENS game with my good friend, and brother-in-law, Tony. I grew up and recently bought a home in Westminster, MD, the town where the  Ravens hold their annual training camp. Therefore, I show my home team support for a great team, and it was amazing to be able to attend my first NFL game at their home stadium. Below are some pictures from the game.
