Last Saturday night, students and leaders got together after the service to join in on a little game of Mafia. Mafia: a game of deception and lies and craftiness. A great game to play to really bring Evan's point home. The point he made in his message that night about the power of our tongues and the absolute destruction they can cause. Evan was the narrator for the night, and took us on an adventure through Bible Land! He used such stories as Nathan and David (that's the one he used when I died in the game) and the apostle Luke (for when... You guessed it... Luke died).
Throughout the few games we played, there were some very interesting defenses given. Billy gave one of the ole' "all I have is a two of hearts!" routine, promising to everyone that by the end of the game, we would prove them all wrong when he showed them his actual card. We also heard a few "how could I ever kill that person?!?!" acts; never a good defense. And then the best was Steven Huggins' defense, which was actually not a defense at all. No, seriously, he actually gave no defense at all. I mean, he could have touched on the fact that Steven Huggins, the mild and meek Frequency student, is totally and completely incapable of committing such a crime. He could have at least said, "Look at this face! I'm the Huggely Bear! I play baseball at Costa Mesa Calvary and go to Interface on Monday nights, but murder? I don't think so." But no, he gave no defense whatsoever.
Any who, after our feud of lies and deceit, we finished the night off with a nice healthy game of hide-and-go-seek. A game in which we ended up spending an hour looking for Billy and Evan, who had miraculously turned into escape artists just during the course of this game (if only I knew their secret). We discovered them hiding under couches. Not behind them, not under the cushions, under the couches. The only reason one of the students was able to see Billy, was because the couch was mysteriously leaning about a foot to one side. And then, due to Evan's chuckling and moving the couch all about in the process, he was also discovered shortly after.
Caps off to you, Evan and Billy, for being the last ones found!
