Wow Doug that was hilarious. I didn’t realize that I embarrassed you when I woke you from sleeping in the Lobby, I will do my best to track you down so I don’t ruin your peaceful nap by yelling, I do find it very funny though!! You really are a great writer. Really easy to relate with how you feel. Oddly enough, I get that feeling when I see my doctor and I even work for doctors so don’t feel like you are alone. It is very common when people feel okay that dont want someone poking and proding around to stir up a problem, IF IT AINT BROKE… unfortunately, health issues don’t work like that. I really appreciate you giving me this site, Your humor really makes my day, I can hopefully relate better to all my patients with high BP. Thanks again… Katie

Thanks Deborah, I love the idea of preparing for opportunities to display the excellence of God’s love in our life to others. That really is what most people want; an authentic representation of Jesus. Thanks for praying with us to learn the most excellent way. And thanks for taking time to comment.

This makes me think of all the opportunities that God has presented me with, while working at Starbucks. People really do watch and evaluate us Christians. They notice not only the big things in my life that I share with them, but the little things too, like my behavior towards others, and my speech. They take note of my response to the stress in my life and it seems that they sit on the edge of their seat, waiting for me to prove their idea that we Christians are no different than them. But, at the same time, they seem to be looking for answers. Everyday, it seems someone comes to me with some big-life issue and looks to me for a different answer than what the world has given them. Sometimes, I don’t realize what is happening until after the moment. So, I have begun to pray for these “Starbuck moments”…for myself, that I will show them the love of Jesus, and for them, that they will be prepared to hear what I have to say. I feel so inadequate to be their advisor, but God keeps bringing them to me. I am trusting that He has a plan to use me, in spite of my failings, to bring hope to so many who seem to need it and want it. Thank you for sharing your insights and observations….I am inspired by your obedience to the Lord and sensitivity to His calling.
