Every time One Village Coffee the company I represent has a hard month selling coffee I get down. I ask questions like, can I do it?You see in the past three months I have accepted the role of the sales manager and primary sales rep for OVC. For the longest time I have fought the feeling of the role I am playing in this venture. It has taken many conversations and people like David to help me

This is a question we all ask our selves when something breaks down.Maybe it is our car, our job, our marriage, or our family.Relationships are the hardest things for me to have break down. Communication is work, and it takes time to develop relationships.Lately I have noticed a shift in the atmosphere, people are more on edge. There seem to be alliances forming. A shiftiness in the eyes, who

The story goes like this:My mom and I are sitting at the bar and I lean over my shoulder and look to the right to see a couple in the corner sharing a drink. I would say they are in their thirties. The man is facing toward the entrance of the room, but not looking at his wife or girlfriend. The interesting positioning is of the girl, She is looking over her martini talking to the man as though

Yes I go out with my Mom to really cool bistros I can not afford at this time. Partly because I can not afford the dinner and partly because i do not get a lot out of nice restaurants. With out the people I am with they seem kind of pointless.In fact a lot of consumer practices seem pointless to me lately.Like shopping for clothes on Black Friday.I went, because target was on the way home from

Ok here is how it goes:I get a call on the phone, "What you are saying on your blog is important, but i do not think people read it because it is to ugly." I love honest friends.So what does, www.toddhiestand.com do, that's right he makes me a new blog. I can honestly say it will be hard to top this Christmas gift, and I am not sure how to thank him. I think I will give him more of my clothes

My life is changing,I have more of a belly.My hair is thinning,I care less about clothes.People are separation,Isolation is becoming easy.Winter is coming,Depression is setting in.Friends are situational,Alliances are being formed.Disappointment is evident,Relationships will never be the same.I want to start having children,My life is to stressful.I want to sleep good at night,My mind wont let

That is probably why I do not listen to many sermons.Recently a friend was asking me about my community group, in fact I have spent a lot of time talking about this group this past week. The Livingroom is the intentional community I have participated in for the past two years. Here is our blog: www.livingroomconversations.blogspot.comA couple things about livingroom, we meet intentionally once

Because I wanted to be one since I was thirteen. I had all the experiences of being "called" at a very young age, I went to the right schools and was mentored by the right people.Now I have a new respect and perspective on the role of the pastor.I think it is one of the toughest jobs out there.I think they have become a joke to most of the Western world.I think they are set up for failure in most

What if we started every Christian meeting with, "Hello my name is... and I am a human being,"I think the institutional church would be a different place.A confession:It has been hard for me to write for the past month:The very reason I write is what keeps me from writing. I need to write when i am anxious. When I am anxious I do not write.A friend said to me:"You are an environmentalist,"No

May I introduce Sally Morganthawler, a woman who has a voice and perspective needed in this time of transition. I had the pleasure of listening to her story for an etrek class. www.theooze.com/etrek/ For two days I joined in a conversation about gender issues and flattened leadership at www.Biblical.edu . It was during these two days and nights I found hope for the future of the church.The

I believe:*everyone leads or can lead*there is a broader view of leadership*there are historical and cultural factors that form our perspective of leadership*woman can lead as well as men, (when people view woman as leaders)*people need a scapegoat for their own failure to lead*the churches view of leadership is narrow*the Evangelical world view sets leaders up for failure*leaders listen*leaders

The excitement of a new life.The possibility of greatnessThe possibility of happiness.Why are we doing this together?Do we believe in the process, or do we just want the rush?I do not want to feel this if it is not real.I do not want a one night stand...I want to believe in the miracle of when two become one...The story of a God who loves,Involved in the natural world.So I believe...As I pen a

I see beauty in your eyes, shaped round by opportunityCrystallized capsules giving way to oblivionHope remains for those lost on their way.Am I lost or am I found?I am lost somewhere between success and failure,Some where between a diploma and a doctorate.With out the right accreditation'sI stand among many.The voices rise from the shore of societyWhere the sea meets the sandWater wash over me.

hear it goes...If the goal in life was to maintain personal growth and individualistic gain then maybe we have all ready won.The US is the icon for individuality and I am convinced community is the answer. You would think that technology and the Internet would make us a diverse understanding nation, however our value of individuality trumps all. We want too much, expect too much and demand too

Tomorrow I will meet with the gentlemen who started And1 for 1/2 hour in a cafe outside of Whole Foods. Normally, I would be nervous or think this was my big break.But what comes to me know are questions about why...Why would someone like him want to meet with me?The answer is simple: business or is it? www.bcorperation.net, this is what he would like us to join.This past month has been a

Tonight I could not sleep, because I keep seeing the faces of the children I have met in undeveloped over looked regions of the world. The faces that speak to me about the need for hope and care. If this life is a gift, then why do so many go with out food and water?The questions I ask drive me to believe.I want to participate in what God is doing in this world.

Look for pics coming soon.The story is simple. I went to Haiti with a man who has been working with some of the people in Labaleine, Haiti. In this village there is a leader by the name of Richard, he has developed a sustainable community through education and economy. He teaches teachers. there are over 46 teachers and 500 students. It is his desire to create a vocational school using some

Because to deny God is to deny humanity.Honestly, to deny God for me would be the same action as denying my humanity. To be human is to recognize my finite perspective and limited world view among other humiliating experiences like going to the bathroom and forgetting social security number when I am making a wire transfer for the first time. The more information one attains, and the better one
