"Coffee alone isn't coffee." -Deda Bora

Found on the pages of a book that describes the lives of thirteen people and one family from Serbia, this quote is so simple yet so profound at the same time. As one who loves coffee, I find Mr. Bora's words to ring true. It seems he is not calling coffee a black liquid you drink out of a mug and can buy and fancy shops, but rather an experience with people...an opportunity for fellowship and friendship. I think here in our fast paced American culture of the drive-thru starbucks and coffee and 7-11 we sometimes lose the fellowship that goes with that amazing drink so well!

fall, daylight savings time & the resurrection band

Its November 4th and I am guessing just about every other blog on the internet is talking about the election. For me, today is all about the coming of fall, it getting lighter earlier and the resurrection band. What a combination! First, I love the cooler weather and the fact that I get to wear warm clothes again! I know I live in San Diego so it never gets real cold, but the temp does drop which is a good thing. As far as daylight savings time and how it gets lighter earlier now, I don't like it! I personally like waking up at 530 am and it being dark outside. To drink my coffee and read my Bible with just one light on in the house is amazing! As much as I like it getting cold again, I can't wait till we change the clocks back again. Finally, the resurrection band is awesome! Old Christian rock that is amazing would be the way I would describe them. Just found them and am loving it. Well, that's whats going on today!

football and fun

So, for the first time in just over a month, I spent my saturday watching college football. What a day it was! Upsets and shutouts were all over the place and it was great to sit back, put my feet up and soak it all in. I also worked around the house a little bit which was pretty cool too. Tomorrow is church, then a bbq with friends and more football! I can't wait!

living in grace...

I believe our role here on earth is to give glory to God. That is the reason we were made! Nothing gives more glory to God than when we take pleasure in who He is and what He has done. Taking pleasure in God in turn has no other effect than bringing extreme joy to our lives. The joy in turn causes us to give glory to God by walking in the way we were designed to walk. Living in grace!

grace...what is it?

So, I am reading this book on grace right now. As I read, my head gets full of knowledge and my heart grows excited for what God is showing me. Its AMAZING! I can't explain it any other way. I am in the process of writing down my thoughts once I can figure those out to be put here.

it's all about GRACE!

what is grace? going to Bible school and church i have heard all about it...but do i really know it? better yet, do i live it? currently i am reading on the topic of living in grace and am very interested to hear what the author has to say and how he backs it up with Scripture. so, in the coming days my thoughts on living in grace will be written here as i journey down this road overflowing Jesus wherever I go!
