The Chat With Staff Coffee House....

[Angel_of_the_Lord]

Moderating in nine months? Woah, that's pretty unbelievable in my opinion!

I have a funny coffee-related story to tell:

During Fall Break, I kept getting up at 4 a.m. and needing coffee, which I didn't have, so I decided to go to Wal-Mart at 6 a.m. one morning to get some coffee.

I had been by the coffee aisle many times before, but I had never ground beans up myself and put them in a bag, so I was pretty much in the dark on how to do it; that's when I decided to wing it. I pulled a bag from the others, filled it TO THE TOP with "Pumpkin Spice" (holiday flavour!) coffee beans, and dumped them into the grinder. When the bag was full the machine kept grinding. "Dear Lord, that's a lot of coffee!" I said, so I stopped the grinder. I had to pur some of the ground coffee out because my bag was too full, and some fell in the floor. Worst of all, someone must have gotten a "Pumpkin Spice" blend with some other coffee later on, because there were still alot of the beans left in the grinder!

After purchasing my coffee and was at home happily drinking a cup, I noticed that it had measurements of where to fill it full of beans to. 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and 1 bag was printed on the side of it, and I realized that I had been to sleepy to pay attention to the detail that morning. I felt bad because I left those beans in the grinder, too.

I just had to share it because it seemed funny.

Come here for small talk or to say hi..or even talk about your day.....
FELLOWSHIP and FUN....Lets try to get to know one another.....

Hello I'm new here. I live in the USA in Florida and I'm a nurse. I'm a Christian wife mother of 2 grown children and grandmother of 1. This is a neat site. It will take me months to figure it all out. I've referred 4 people..or at least did the referral thing through this site to send them emails. If we want to make a 1 time monetary donation instead of a continuing donation how does that work? I went to the place for contributions but it only has a drop down menu for 1 month 3 months etc. No place I found for one time donation. And do I have to use PayPal or can I just use credit card?

For the overworked, underpaid, but loved and appreciated Staff....
****************************\Shoes in Church

I showered and shaved.............. I adjusted my tie.
I got there and sat.............. In a pew just in time.

Bowing my head in prayer......... As I closed my eyes.
I saw the shoe of the man next to me.. Touching my own. I sighed.

With plenty of room on either side...... I thought,

"Why must our soles touch?"
It bothered me, his shoe touching mine...

But it didn't bother him much.

A prayer began: "Our Father"............. I thought,

"This man with the shoes.. Has no pride.
They're dusty, worn, and scratched.

Even worse, there are holes on the side!"

"Thank You for blessings," the prayer went on.
The shoe man said.............. A quiet "Amen."
I tried to focus on the prayer.......

But my thoughts were on his shoes again

Aren't we supposed to look our best.. When walking through that door?
"Well, this certainly isn't it," I thought, Glancing toward the floor.


Then the prayer was ended........... And the songs of praise began.
The shoe man was certainly loud...... Sounding proud as he sang.

His voice lifted the rafters......... His hands were raised high.
The Lord could surely hear.. The shoe man's voice from the sky.

It was time for the offering......... And what I threw in was steep.
I watched as the shoe man reached.... Into his pockets so deep.

I saw what was pulled out........... What the shoe man put in.
Then I heard a soft "clink" . As when silver hits tin.

The sermon really bored me.......... To tears, and that's no lie
It was the same for the shoe man..... For tears fell from his eyes.

At the end of the service........ As is the custom here
We must greet new visitors.. And show them all good cheer.

But I felt moved somehow............. And wanted to meet the shoe man
So after the closing prayer......... I reached over and shook his hand.

He was old and his skin was dark..... And his hair was truly a mess
But I thanked him for coming......... For being our guest.

He said, "My names' Charlie......... I'm glad to meet you, my friend."
There were tears in his eyes......... But he had a large, wide grin

"Let me explain," he said........... Wiping tears from his eyes.
"I've been coming here for months.... And you're the first to say
'Hi.'"


"I know that my appearance........"Is not like all the rest
"But I really do try................"To always look my best."

"I always clean and polish my shoes.."Before my very long walk.
"But by the time I get here........."They're dirty and dusty, like
Chalk."

My heart filled with pain............ And I swallowed to hide my tears
As he continued to apologize......... For daring to sit so near.

He said, "When I get here..........."I know I must look a sight.
"But I thought if I could touch you.."Then maybe our souls might
Unite."


I was silent for a moment............ Knowing whatever was said
Would pale in comparison... I spoke from my heart, not my head.

"Oh, you've touched me," I said......"And taught me, in part;
"That the best of any man............"Is what is found in his heart."

The rest, I thought,................ This shoe man will never know.
Like just how thankful I really am... That his dirty old shoe touched
My soul


You are special to me and you have made a difference in my life.

I respect you, and truly cherish you.
Send this to your friends,

No matter how often you talk,

Or how close you are,
And send it to the person who sent it to you.

Let old friends know you haven't forgotten them, and tell

New friends you never will
