God Loves Starbucks!

I am a real quality time guy. One of my favorite activities is just going to Starbucks with someone I like to be with and hanging out. Sure, the coffee is great and the atmosphere is fantastic. But, what it really is about is the person I am sharing time with. (It doesn't get any better than Starbucks in Providence in the winter with Dennae).

Sometimes we talk about serious issues in our lives, sometimes we solve the world's problems, sometimes we plot our next adventure, and sometimes we just talk about silly stuff.

So, if you are like me and like that too, I have a question for you. When was the last time you took God to Starbucks? I mean really, have you ever just gone there alone for the specific purpose of hanging with Him and talking to Him? If you haven't, I highly recommend it. If you are not a Starbucks fan, you can do this anywhere. You could hike to the top of a mountain (or a big hill if you live in Phoenix). You could go sit in a park. You could stay at home (NO TELEVISION). The point is to have some serious hang time with your Heavenly Father.

I think a lot of times we are so used to being busy and being around people that we do not like to be alone. But, if we are hanging with Him, we certainly are not alone. Rather than deciding to spend time with Him as a last resort, because we are lonely, why not do it on purpose? Why not take the initiative to block off some time and just hang with Him. Take Him with you, have Him sit in the seat across from you and just hang out with Him. I believe that He really does love Starbucks, and you won't even have to spring for a double decaf non-fat latte for Him. :)
