Thanks, Glenna! Lol. Well, I don't drink a lot of espresso-based drinks right now. I'm too obsessed with single origin drip/pour over. This thing mimics classy pour overs. I get a text every week of special beans that have a brew recipe synced to the pot, it's crazy!
Agree. And what I saw in myself was someone spending so much time most mornings reading blog posts about good and interesting Christian topics that I was not reading scripture and not praying. I decided to make a change. I set the bar low for starters, and set a plan to read two verses every morning, re-write them by hand in a notebook, and pray them. It has been a transformative experience in numerous ways, and it has prompted additional scripture reading and praying. I decided a couple months ago to experiment and use an old instagram account (ritawije) to put this project online, as an addition to what I've been doing using only my PC.
I love the reference to Susanna Wesley. If you can find time to pray with as many children as she had, well, anyone can. I appreciated the rest of the article as well. Perfect timing for a mid year “tune up”.
this lacks grace for those who find mornings very difficult.
The reason Susanna Wesley had to throw her apron over her head to pray is specifically *because* she was around all those people. She needed some way to get "by herself" in their midst.
This was great, Jeff! But I have questions about that coffee maker. For instance, why isn't it a Breville Barista? 😏

That sounds really sophisticated. This is the level of coffee snobbery that I fully support. :)

Love that, Mark!

Good stuff, friend
