I love all your thoughts in this blog! The...Josh! I love all your thoughts in this blog! There's so much to consider. Jesus, the Perfect Barista. :-) Makes me smile.<br /><br />I love your paragraph on allowing the idea that people can change. Err on the side of love. Forgive. Give them a clean slate. Yessir. People can change. I have. I haven't "arrived", but I'm thankful for where God has led me so far. I'm not what I want to be. I'm not what I'm going to be. But thank God, I'm not what I was.<br /><br />My favorite coffee drink? I like a flavored creamer in mine. BTW, I know of someone who buys raw coffee beans and roasts them himself - in an air popcorn popper. How cool is that? <br /><br />Thanks for these beautiful thoughts and lessons. If only all of us would err on the side of love.<br /><br />hugs to you,<br /><br />momwithapanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906087051456468030.post-57639691441402415282012-03-08T11:59:09.478-08:002012-03-08T11:59:09.478-08:00Some very thoughtful analogies there, Josh. I like...Some very thoughtful analogies there, Josh. I liked them all! In Christ, we can all be the "perfect brew".<br /><br />I personally try to stay away from coffee and caffeine anywhere because of my blood pressure. But even before I started having problems with that, I tried to stay away from it because of its addictive nature. There are several food items that they are now discovering have addictive properties too(mostly in the "junk food" category). I may enjoy these foods now and then, but definitely try not to make them a regular food item on my plate.<br /><br />I've had too many family members and friends struggle with their addictions and I prefer to use my life energy doing other things. It's a personal decision, but I'm not kidding myself--others are affected by my lifestyle choices, whether I like it or not.<br /><br />I welcome discussion on this, my friend.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147190159864949820noreply@blogger.com
