I want to invite you to catch our teaching from last Sunday, you can hear it by clicking here.
I have been telling people about my office at Corky's Hardbean Cafe. It seems that people find the notion of me using the coffee house as my office as a really odd idea. People are now asking to come meet with me at Corky's. I love it.
Yesterday, I asked Corky if he minded me being there so much. So far this week I've worked about 10 hours there this week. I started to feel like maybe he might consider me a loiterer. He said, "Absolutely not. I love it when you guys are here." He explained that in his business it's good to have people be comfortable and spend a lot of time there. He told me that if I came first thing in the morning and stayed until close 5 days a week that would be fine with him.
I've enjoyed reflecting this week on the coffee house, because Jesus met the Samaritan woman at the well. My virtual mentor Mark Batterson says that coffee houses are modern day wells. I love being at the well, because it opens up doors to let streams of living water flow.
Thanks Corky

What is the preferred drink from the well? Dad
Honestly? Water. I'm not a coffee drinker really. I told Corky the other day that I'm more of a social drinker when it comes to the Arabica juice. But, the Chai latte is like drinking liquid pumpkin pie. Sweet but good. I've had both the light and dark roast coffee. The dark, more bitter. The light, more caffeine.
But I mostly stick to the one dollar water to keep it economically feasible.
