Not Worth Reading

Okay so I don't really have anything to say right now but I am posting this so that people know that i am still alive. We are into the "Holiday" Season which means in my current line of work that I get to enjoy the pleasure of working alot more. Today is the first chance that I have had to sit down and catch up in blog world and as i sit here thinking of what to post for the week i am left with writer block. I have a few subjects kicking around in my head like, how all of Creation displays the image of God in one big Mosaic, or how walking around with Kayla reminds me of the Fatherhood nature of our Creator but in all honesty I am not in the mood to write out some quirky devotional for myself. I created this thing to be a refelction of the world around me and all I ever up typing is rants about the modern day church and how it is falling short of its original intensions. That is one the things that frustrated me the most as a pastor was that my world was limited to the church and as I sit here I can't help but think that it still is. God created much more then our little circle and I believe that if I can learn to enjoy more of it then i will be able to enjoy more of Him. That is one of the reasons why I chose to go into the coffee business, because of the oppurtunity to interact with people from all walks of life. I enjoy sitting down and listening to people tell me their stories and i love laughing with people. Thank you Father for the oppurtunities to experience the world through the eyes of my own as well as through the eyes of others that you have created with as much care and dedication as me. As we go through the business of this season, please allow me moments where I can stop and listen to those around me. Sometimes I sit and listen to the grunts and groans of my daughter and i wonder what she is thinking and what she is experiencing. Please also grant moments where i may be able to understand your grunts and groans that sound to me the same way that Kayla does, and most likely the way I sound to her. As I shlep yet another eggnog latte, may it not just be another eggnog latte but a soothing moment for that persons soul. The world is much larger then i can experience, just as the crowd was larger then one loaf of bread could handle. Here is myself, may I be blessed by beign broken into whatever you want and destributed to wherever you want all I ask is that there is laughter along the way. May the cheer and hospitality that is demonstrated through this season be continued throughout the year and finally may all of those who are not able to spend this time with those that they would choose to be smiled on with your grace. Finally, I want a new Ipod and High Speed Internet - Get on it! :)
