…you can bring Starbucks home!
You just get your coffee going, fire up XM Channel 75, get your books and notebook out, and there you go!
Well, almost…

OK, here’s the deal…you know when you get those pesky credit card offers in the mail and they have the fake credit card stuck to the paper with that “snot-like” adhesive? (Sorry!)
What’s that stuff called? And where would I find something like that, quickly and locally?
Thanks in advance for your vast storehouse of knowledge!
From the Starbucks in Canton, Georgia this morning…
The men’s group is out in full force, the coffee is hot, sweet, and strong, the muscles have a good afterburn, the sun is shining, the storm is gone, I slept a long, long time last night, I finished my workout strong, God is on the throne, and right now, it is well with my soul!
Oh, and did I mention that Louis Jordan’s “Let the Good Times Roll, ” Spike Jones’s “Cocktails for Two,” and the Ink Spots’ “Someone’s Rocking My Dream Boat” are providing the soundtrack for this gorgeous morning?
And Ephesians 1 and John Piper are providing the reading material…
It’s a rainy, potentially stormy Thursday in my neck of the woods. I’m sitting here thinking, reading, and praying. And some of those thoughts are leaking onto the pages of my Moleskine…
- My buddy Gary Lamb is in the war room right now. For something like only the second time in the history of the ‘Stone, they’re departing on short notice from the scheduled plan for Sunday. If you’ve got a minute in your busy schedule, lift up a word for the RidgeStone team.
- I know people die. I know death leaves a void in the lives of family and friends who are yet alive. I do have compassion for grieving people, especially when the death is particularly drawn-out or whatever. I know we have a responsibility to help meet others’ needs, especially those of the household of faith. But the mission goes on. And I need to have at least as much compassion for those who are dying spiritually, facing a Christless eternity separated from God, as I do for those whose physical death, while saddening and maddening, is a transition to an eternity in the presence of the One who makes all things new.
- Our denomination reports that 103,585 people live in a 5-mile radius of our church’s location. Median age, 35.6. Mostly “Up and Coming Families.” Mostly disconnected. Mostly unchurched. Mostly overwhelmed.
