...a big, big cup of coffee. It'll take a BIG cup of coffee to discuss everything, and is there a better way to chat about anything than over a steaming mug of freshly brewed goodness? Coffee...you are so wonderful, so warm, so giving of your caffeine to my bloodstream...what a good friend...anyway, I digress.
So, what's up? Well, there are two worlds at play here - house and head. What's going on in the house? It's CRAZY time! We're in the middle of some crazy-busy weeks at camp, and there's all sorts of kid activities that have either just happened, or will be happening very soon. (take a sip of Joe) I don't want to talk about it anymore...
Then, there's what's going on in the head. (Take another sip) Again, so many topics that I have been wanting to go off on lately, that it's baffling where to start. (take a good, long pull) I've had the opportunity to be in my home church the last two Sundays, as we have not been on the road for camp. I also attended the Maundy Thursday service. This gave me three chances to again experience what 'my' church is up to. Oh, Oh, Oh...I really try not to sit there and critique the entire time, really I do. I consciously try to have an open mind when I walk in the door, but it never takes too long before my juices start to boil. Some highlights...equating baptism with salvation (uh, yeah, I've got a problem with that) and saying that God does not hear/answer all prayers (isn't 'no' still an answer?).
Actually, what has been occupying much of my head time lately are the blissful thoughts of bicycling. It was warm here last week and I got to go out a few times. Ahhh.... Bike....almost as good as coffee. I'm so excited for RAGBRAI! Nothing could be better! Unless it was riding it on a brand new road bike....hmmm...
As we finish our cup together, let me take this opportunity to reiterate a few long standing truths...W sucks (did anyone see Dave's bit on presidents speaking eloquently? So funny, so sad and embarrassing), salesmen SUCK (that's a whole other post) and Tom Cruise is a total nut job (but I'll still go see MI3).
Anyway, what would you like to say over a hot cup?
