Fasting
Am I going to hell if I forgot to fast today after the pastor announced a church-wide fast? I meant to do it, then I forgot and ate breakfast.
I’m all for churches encouraging corporate fasting like this – but I’d be more comfortable with it if we did a little bit of education about what fasting is and what it isn’t. This is a new church, after all. I’m not complaining – honest! I’m going to make sure I bring it up at the next staff meeting.
Oh yeah, I guess I’m considered “staff” now. I’ve been invited to the weekly staff meetings at Starbucks. Too bad I don’t like coffee.

Try a carmel apple cider. You’ll never feel left out again.
How yuppie that your church plant staff meets at Starbucks.
no no…
It’s called contextualizing for the emerging generations. 8{)}
That, and Frank really likes Starbucks. The carmel apple cider is tasty. It just costs an arm and a leg. I like King’s better, but who knows how long it will be around.
Are there any coffeehouses on the West Side of E’ville? I know there used to be one because my friends would rotate between it and The Jungle back when it was Jungle Mornings. Of course, that was 10 years ago, so I doubt it’s still there.
Guess you’ll have to meet me at Steak n Shake for our staff meetings.
