There's just something about a good cup of coffee on a chilly morning. It makes me smile. It warms me. It urges me to write. I can't explain why. Maybe it was the hours I spent working at the newspaper where the air was scented with newsprint and coffee. Or the nights spent in college at our yearbook working on a deadline where the scent of coffee wafted down the hallway at 2:00 am to give us that extra push needed to complete our pages. It doesn't matter why, or even where, the love of coffee and words began. All that matters is this particular love affair began.
Random musing time.... So much of my life and time revolves around my church and my relationship with Christ. Join me in a brief journey thru what has been happening in both recently....
I'm so excited about the different things we have going on at church. TheWednesday night class I am attending with my hubby and eldest son is wonderful. We are doing a Beth Moore study - the Patriarchs. Talk about learning! My head almost explodes some days with knowledge. But, I so love it. Only two weeks in and I have so many new names for God. We are getting new insights into His glorious character from the way he revealed himself to Abraham through his names. I think my favorite at the moment is what Hagar named God (btw, she is the ONLY person who ever gave God a name in the Bible. The rest of the names are ones He has told us!) She called him "the God who sees me." WOW!! Drink a cup or two of coffee and let the thought of that name roll through your heart, mind and soul. Incredible! I read that on Sunday and I am still in awe.
Other things happening at church. I got to see and meet Guy Penrod on Saturday night. Awesome concert. Great cd too. My favorite song on it is "Pray about Everything." Really really good song. What's even better, Guy sang with our choir and orchestra Sunday during our worship services....and since I play keyboard in the orchestra, I got to play for him!!! WOW!! I've played for Russ Taff, Clay Crosse and Guy Penrod. What an honor to play for such strong Christian artists. They amaze me with their love of Christ and their commitment to spreading the Gospel thru their music.
Tomorrow morning we start a new Bible study called "Me, Myself and Lies." I skimmed thru the book a few weeks ago but unfortunately didn't pay a lot of attention to it as we were discussing other things at the time. So, I don't know what this class is going to delve into other than the lies we, as women, are being told and are believing. It certainly sounds challenging. I'm looking forward to having my spiritual muscles stretched and strenghtened.
A last musing.... I'm in charge of refreshments for tomorrow's class. It's less than 24 hours away and I still don't know what I'm going to make. HELP!!! I love a mixture of sweet and savory...and fresh. Thinking about grapes, mini quiches....and not sure what else. Have tossed around the idea of making my stuffed jalapenos again, but that means lots of savory and nothing sweet. I don't really want to make a cake again - although the last one was a hit. Guess it's time to do my Bible study for today and then go thru my recipes again. Maybe a coffee cake......
