What a Glorious Day!


Right - Adele Pan Gardner
It could not have been a more glorious day for the Followers of Christ feeding mission.   The sun was shining on Aala Skate Park, Hawaii, a beautiful backdrop for a day full of hope, blessings, and friends.  People gathered from far and near to partake in yesterday’s homeless feeding mission by Followers of Christ that resulted in an afternoon of fellowship, bringing those who have so little closer to Christ, filling empty bellies, and making new friends. The feeding mission was a result of a calling received by Adele Pan Gardner, who also has the blessing of plenty of family and friends eager to support her vision.   Adele and her excited supporters (including me) successfully executed the mission without financial support from any organized establishment, which makes the event a testament to feats large and small that can be accomplished in the name of the Lord.  

Hungry folks lined up to eat.

Many lined up from far and near to participate.








  
Acoustic guitar music provided by Adele's son added just the right touch!




 



A talented new friend joined in to add a musical touch.




Salad


A mighty salad that balanced the menu which also included fruit salad, juice, and one of Adele's hardy beef and potato casseroles.

Awesome time of wonderful fellowship and meeting new folks.  It was a very humbling experience.

Fellowship time is so important.








There was even time for fun while holding down the tent  during a wind gust.










Followers of Christ....say Amen!

The Money Pit



My favorite banana likes projects, as do I. There is nothing wrong with projects; in fact, Our Banana Moments is my colossal project.  The good thing about projects is that despite the occasional hair-raising brushes with irritation, we love the gratification of the “I made it myself” feeling.  His grace’s latest project is restoring a BMW that he was able to get for an unbelievably low price.  Unfortunately, this project has hit a nightmare of a snag otherwise known as the money pit.  This could also be thought of as the make-up on the unbelievably low price. Why is it so hard to get something for nothing? You might be wondering, why am I writing about the beloved project?  Well, just as much as he shares the excitement of “I made it myself”, he is equally generous when it comes to sharing the frustration of the money pit, which I am now passing on to you in the form of this post.  Enjoy!

Love Advice - From a banana?


While scrolling through facebook, I stumble upon some back yard relationship advice.  If you are in a troubled relationship, just ask your local banana, who, by the way, is likely divorced with a string of failed relationships under his or her belt.  If you think you have some good advice to share, please weigh in.  Caution: take advice at your relationships own risk!


GT: I have a handful of friends that seem to break up then get back on a regular basis. With every breakup they act like the world has come to an end. When they get back its like they JUST found true love! Then they repeat the cycle... I find it hilarious! They were doomed from the first cycle and don't know it...

KR: Many times people are AFRAID to be alone so they keep going back to the person that they know is not right for them. They may require a serious intervention. Intervention like - "Throw a nasty ass old puppy eaten slippah' at their head like in a numb chuck motion" lmao. I'm guilty of doing it too but learned what my own worth and happiness was.  Yesterday at 4:52am · Like

MJ: It's live and learn only if you have learned anything! Of course, this isn't the land of plenty when it comes to acceptable/qualified single adults. If I am going to fall in the muddy waters of love, it will be unconditionally.  21 hours ago · Like


 
GT:  Unconditionally!? What's that!? Never heard of the concept ....  21 hours ago · Like


 
MJ: LOL I know you haven't heard of that concept. It's too complicated to break it down on fb but essentially it's that person who loves you including all of your faults despite the fact that your a big asshole. That person is always there to catch you when you fall and faces life's challenges standing beside you. You will easily know this person, if you ever meet them, because you will say to yourself "wow, I have done some f'd up shit and he or she is still in my corner.  21 hours ago · Like ·
