Your friend intrigues me... I've always heard that, as in any relationship, you can know a lot ABOUT the Lord, but it takes one-on-one time to know Him personally... That's interesting...

Also love the coffee-centric theme! (did you check out my Starbucks posting?) Good reminders, and I confess that I have a very volatile track record in maintaining the "disciplines" to keep me spiritually focused. Life in 21st century America with the kids, the job, the church, etc etc. can get too busy and unpredictable. Anyways, I do alaways end up coming back to these basics, though. PS - I had a friend a few years ago who was one of the most spiritually dynamic men I knew (big-time executive, worship leader, bible-study leader, etc) and he confessed to me that he NEVER did the "quiet-time-devotion" thing. Ever. He obviously got his spiritual feeding through his act of leading others and participating in fellowship/worship. Hmmm. Hey Andrea- Love your blog. Also love the coffee-centric theme!

Yep, that will be $20 per Twinkie. (Seriously, I once heard of a guy in that group whose goal was to set up a web site for his company. He paid about $1,500 in "accountability fees" before he finally did it...) Thanks, Dan & Michael! Yep, that will be $20 per Twinkie.

That's just too cool. And making a strong start is very important. It's like laying a foundation. Everything else is just building on top, and it won't last if the foundation wasn't strong. Realizing that our time is not just here to be filled but should be filled in a profitable manner is also a great thing to remember and helps keep us on our toes.
