Crazy Idea #3287

We have "game night" once a month here, where the kids and some adults get together and play board games against one another. It's not fun having a 7 year old whip you at Yahtzee. Don't ask me how I know.

What if we got several copies of a PC based game like Cesear 2, or Rise of Nations and had a lan party as well? Might bring in some others in this technologically savvy part of the world. We got engineers on top of engineers here.

Ooooh - we could buy 10 copies of F-15 Strike Eagle or F-16 Falcon and get one of the pilots from the base over here and teach them some humility. :)

Or get some Ranger Camp instructors over to play us in America's Army.

If we did the latter, we could publicize it and maybe get a bunch of folks and build some goodwill with military units here. Awesome people, doing a great job who don't get told "thank you" near enough.

Of course with my game prowess, I'll be over with the elementary school kids playing Trouble, or maybe "Operation".

Whatcha' think?

Crazy Idea #3285

We have people who love to cook, and people who love to eat, and people who like to watch movies.

There are people who share all those traits who are not part of the New Hope family of Christ followers.

What if we offered "Dinner & a Movie" once a month and had our cooks prepare a meal, our nursery and children's folks do their stuff, and show a movie with dessert after so people could mingle and we could make some friends?

Crazy?
