"They captured fortified cities and fertile land; they took possession of houses filled with all kinds of good things, wells already dug, vineyards, olive groves and fruit trees in abundance. They ate to the full and were well-nourished; they reveled in your great goodness." (Nehemiah 9:25)
Yeah, that pretty much describes what it feels like to work at Chatham. We had our grand opening festivities for our new building tonight. Oh my goodness. They know how to throw a party! It was amazing. Festivities started at 3:00 so the work day was short. There was an open bar with wine, beer and sodas of course. The catering was done by the Greenville Inn and the appetizers were delicious. Then came the main course of burgers, hot dogs, BBQ chicken and ribs, some amazing side dishes and corn on the cob with a vat of butter next to it for dipping. There was also a live band, the outdoor fireplace was blazing, and there was a hot air balloon. Oh, and I forgot the cotton candy, popcorn and caramel apples. I totally don't deserve this, so I simply revel in God's great goodness.

Dude, did you ride in the hot air balloon? I've always wanted to do that!
No, it was tethered and only went like 50 feet up so I didn't see the point. Fun for the kids though.
Steve, going to a bank party and getting hammered is looked down upon by the Lord.
"Do not join those who drink too much wine, or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags."
Proverbs 23:20-21
"Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes? Those who linger over wine, who go to sample bowls of mixed wine." Proverbs 23:29-30
Repent!
And get some eyedrops for those bloodshot eyes ;)
