Epping Forest Community Church in the morning for church and then we headed off to Tottenham Court Road to catch the Hillsong London Christmas program. The show at Hillsong could easily rival any show that one would pay for in a proper theater as a proper “production.” Lights, smoke machines, live music, video, huge screens, Santa passing out Lindt chocolates (yes, please) and Simon. Simon helps out at Hillsong and had been down there the whole day when we caught up with him.
After the program, it was off to the Hillsongers’ bar for some mulled wine and good company. We (me, Emily, Sally and Simon) met people we hadn’t seen in a while (shout out to Jay) and made some new friends as well (shout out to our new Austrailian friend Louise should she find our website!). Overall a cheery evening; but things really got awesome when I spotted a little to-go/take away “restaurant” across the street from the bar, called Wok in a Box. Pick two items from the wok, they throw them in a little, typical Chinese to-go box, and you pay £4.50 for a scrumptious meal. Rocked my world. I woke up this morning still thinking about it and made up motions to celebrate. Emily knows the dance now, too. Thanks, Wok in a Box!
I'm a seminary student and Emily's a nursing student. We live in sunny Wake Forest, NC, where we've been since January 2007 after moving from my home state of West Virginia. We probably wouldn't be so interesting if we didn't like to party, cook, dance, mingle, read, blog, travel, love, and eat, and we hadn't braved US immigration after getting married in 2005 in England from whence Emily cometh.
