After cake the group gathered in the family room for a game of "Mafia". I have no idea how to play but all I know is that they have a blast playing.


Thanks Ralph and Rachel for coming all the way from Kissimmee to celebrate Jordan's birthday! Things then started to get a little wild . . . . . . .. LOL


We then had a surprise visitor show up . . . . .Joe! Our long time friend who we have not seen in a few years. Joe was our first worship leader for our church. He is an amazing keyboardest and was basically self taught. He has given lessons to many in our church. He was kind enough to give me a lesson during the party. I can't believe how much he taught me in 30 minutes . .. thanks Joe!
When Jordan was about 15 he went on a missions trip to Brazil. While he was there the Lord reinstated the love of the piano back into him. (He had taken piano for 6 years and was classically taught) When he was in the 8th grade he gave it all up. So, when he came back from Brazil Joe took him under his wing and started giving him lessons but this time instead of using sheet music he taught him by chords. He also mentored him on leading worship. Joe sat down at the piano and showed us some of his new stuff.
We were all amazed!!!!
He even gave Jordan a couple tips :-)
It was so good to have Joe with us tonight. It was a perfect way to end the evening!
