Weekend Coffee Share ☕️

Thanks for stopping by today for coffee, tea, and as it’s getting a bit cooler a spot of hot chocolate, and yes there’s whip cream and mini marshmallows. Please feel free to partake in the assorted pastries and fruit for those of you going carb free today. And I tried to be sensitive to those of you that may have a gluten allergy, too.

I hope everyone had a good week. My week was a bit unpleasant, but I’ll get to that later. This past Sunday, I went to a church called New Hope Baptist Church and really enjoyed it. So, I think I’m getting closer to finding a church home. I’m going back tomorrow. One because

If We We Were Having Coffee. . .

I’d tell you that a lot of good things happened this week and quite a few wacky things – enough fodder for a few blog posts.

But the best thing that’s happened is my grandmother turned 88 years young today. So, I would be remiss in not saying happy birthday grammy and I miss being able to hop in the car and drive 20 minutes to see you.

So, on that note this week’s coffee share is all about the positive. 

Appropriate or Inappropriate?

I typically go my church’s 7 am service. Today is Couples Sunday and our pastor gave his spiel about couple’s staying together, Valentine’s Day, and love, then it was time for ‘Meet and Greet’.  I was a little stunned at what came across the speakers — Beyonce’s “Love on Top“.

I’m all for keeping abreast of pop culture and bringing it in as a teachable moment, but not as background music to meeting and greeting visitors and one another. I’m not a club or a dance party, I’m at church and I am of the opinion that either you have no music or play softly in the background or if you must use a pop song  choose one that can double as a Christian song (i.e. Bette Midler‘s “Wind Beneath My Wings or Josh Groban‘s “You Raise Me Up or some such song).

Chime in. What are your thoughts?
