Prayers: "First We Have Coffee"

I usually try not to post more than once in the same day (it's inefficient--why post twice when I can post once and then schedule the next post for tomorrow), but this is too good to wait. This one is purely a prayer of thanksgiving.

Over the past year, some of the men at Fron have started getting together about twice a month to help out with projects around the church. (Like, say, putting the air conditioners back in the offices for the summer, which they just did.) They always have coffee first, and then get to the work projects--hence the name, which may or may not be inspired by this book by the same title. They seem to be having a great time and they bring a delightful energy to the place whenever they are around.

When I first arrived here last summer, I noticed that while the women's groups were very active, there weren't a lot of men's group. Then this group came together, and they are making a big step towards filling that vacuum. They are a great bunch of guys and are even willing to share their coffee with their young female pastor, which is awfully generous of them. It seems like a little thing, but I give thanks for them in my prayers on a regular basis.
