Also, we celebrated my brother's birthday at Medieval Times. It was still very touristy and not inexpensive. But, we got the Summer Knights discount and the birthday person free with one full admission purchase. Along with fees and taxes, it all came out to about $40/person instead of the normal almost $60. Overall, it was a better show than Pirates Adventure; and I've always loved horses. And that time period, is very chivalrous and romantic. We were seated in the Yellow Knight's section. He was not bad, but got defeated early on. The food was actually okay - it was interesting to eat with no utensils. The garlic bread was good, especially as sop for the tomato soup. The chicken was pretty good, though the white meat portions were a little dry. The ribs were not bad, and the potato was seasoned well. The apple pastry dessert was good. For drinks, we only had a choice of water, iced tea, pepsi, and coffee. And our waitress was not very nice nor efficient. But still, I think my brother enjoyed it, and it was a little more of a "special" celebration than just going out to eat. Besides, I had never been there before, so it was good to be able to experience it at least once.
I got up early this morning, and actually had a lot of time to spend in prayer to the LORD, doing devotions, and playing & singing worship songs and hymns. In worship, we were reminded of God's general revelation in nature, and specific revelation through His Word. In class, we had good discussion. There was a visitor who did not have a Bible. I lent her the "extra" Bible I always carry around, and at the end, I felt prompted to offer to let her keep it, and she did. So, I pray that God will use that Bible for His purposes in her life. Also, it was interesting that several people have asked whether the talk on JWs that we are planning to have this weekend would be recorded. It's encouraging that there are people who are interested in the information - may God use it to help us be better prepared when witnessing.
After class, I was able to spend some time with someone from my class. I had originally planned to help her with her computer and printer, and decided to go to lunch first. We went to Bai Plu in Long Beach on Bellflower Blvd. It's a Thai and Japanese restaurant. It had a nice setup. The food was okay, though the sushi did not seem so fresh; and the prices were a little high. However, my friend loved the Thai soup (a coconut milk, lemon grass, soup with tofu and mushrooms). She had never had it before and really enjoyed it. When we went to her place to look at her computer and printer, there was really nothing wrong with them. It was just some education and training that she needed, in order to understand what she was encountering and needed to do.
