And then there's the dessert from that same meal (see previous entry).  Briefly; the presentation of the awesome "angel cake" I ordered really dazzled us.  The usual lovely design of chocolate or raspberry sauce on the plate, done by the pastry chef with just that extra bit of flair for creativity, always adds a bit of glee as one devours the delicacy at hand!  But in this case, it was extra special, not just because it was created by a gifted volunteer––a beautiful young student 20 or 21 years of age––but that it was both artful and meaningful. 

I had preached that morning from a topic which I translated (with plenty of help!) into the following Japanese words: KOKONI––ASOKO.  That was the sermon title, Here and There.  The servant who prepared my dessert had scripted beautifully with chocolate sauce, the Japanese characters for Here and There on the plate alongside astoundingly accurate caricatures of my wife Ruby and me!  On the plate!!!  Man this country and this culture (and Kick Back Café) blow me away.

How 'bout I include a video of my dessert!  I know, nerdy.
