Crepes and Christian Conversation

9/23/2011

What a great morning Heather and I had with Sheldon and Liz Traver.  I had my first espresso courtesy of Barista Sheldon and munched on scrumptious homemade crepes filled with blueberries and raspberries.  But the most delicious part of the morning was the simple yet profound joy of Christian Community and the chance to connect in Christian conversation with a young couple committed to touching their world for Christ.  So encouraging to have friendships like this.  Liz invited us back with genuine enthusiasm, and I intend to take them up on their offer!  Don't think I realized how hungry I was for such a simple connection.  Sheldon has a passion to see people connected in close-knit groups and we dialogued at length about how to help the folks who come to SCN find the connection, encouragement, and support of a small group.  I'm thinking, "Offer crepes!"
Anyone else out there excited about being in a small group?

    Welcome to Daily Grinds
    I chose “Daily Grinds” for a name because everyone has them. For some they show up at the workplace, for others it is on the freeway, maybe at school. “The Grind” comes to us all at some point, and in some ways at every point in our lives. Of course, these grinds aren’t always bitter and burdensome. Sometimes the daily grinds are evidence of the most positive moments in our lives – the satisfaction of a difficult job well done, confidence hammered out on the anvil of much preparation. And sometimes, quite unexpectedly, "the grind" gifts us with moments of grace – some monumental like the birth of a child, others more mundane, like a great cup of coffee and some casual conversation with a good friend. In fact, I came across a website for a coffee company in New York called, The Daily Grind, that confirmed my inspiration.  Perhaps sifting through the “grounds” of my day-to-day will give you a glimpse into your own Daily Grind.

    About Dom

    Just your average guy (ok - a little below average in the height department!) that is trying to make my way in this world.  I have been the pastor of SCN since 1998 and just celebrated 22 years of marriage to my wife, Heather, (obviously way above average in the wife department!) on September 2nd.  Aside from sardines and anchovies, there isn't much I don't enjoy in life.
