Wedding celebrations in Texas

The wedding celebrations were great fun. My brother has married a Texas gal - Kelli and now suddenly I have new Texan family. The reception was at Kelli's brothers ranch complete with cowboys, pick ups, hay bales, country music and a Texan size bbq. Even the bride wore cowgirl boots. Unique and amazing. My new family are so warm and hospitable. They have spoilt us and fed us - Texas style.
One of the pleasant surprises has been how many church goers there are in my new family. So on Sunday we went to Greenacres Baptist Church www.gabc.org where some of the family attend along with 6,000 others! It was great. It was big: 40 in the band/orchestra; 200 in the choir, large auditorium; great pastor (who we met afterwards) multi-meeting; big campus. Interesting to observe that you can choose what type of worship service to attend according to your musical taste - traditional or contemporary. We went to both to get a feel and liked both (not quite sure what that says about me!).
