Since this was under the list of most blogged stories in the news, it is not likely news for coffee drinkers. Still it does help to justify my coffee habit. And three cups is about what my daily intake is. So hats off to good research.
And I don’t want to see a story refuting this anytime soon !

Great. Worship practice to start things off – 8:45
Then church. Leo speaking. He talked about a CBC program that brought up the problem of pastor abuse especially in congregational churches. Unreasonable expectations, gossip, roast pastor.
And he didn’t talk about the poor pastor’s families. I think they often are victims too.
Anyway, I think we had a good morning.
Then we went home, made waffles, and then were blessed with a visit from Kieran and Annette for a few minutes. Then off we went to Christopher Lake.
We got to the Nature area at Christopher Lake a bit late. Today a sign was being unveiled dedicating the nature area to our old friend Lionel Roy. We missed the long speeches but made it in time for the unveiling and some of the entertainment. Former police chief Quinn sang a couple of songs. He has a very nice deep rich voice. And of course no dedication is complete without bagpipes. They do sound good outdoors.
Then over to Tryntje’s for a huge barbeque – steak, potatoes, salads, veggies, and lots of desserts. We ate too much, some of us drank too much and we had a good time together.
Then back home to a house full of people – well, just Dave, Annette, Kieran and Shaun. And we are sitting around in the kitchen eating ice cream and me blogging.

Jordon talks about third spaces in his neighborhood – the lack of them – and wonders what it would look like, what it would be like if churches opened up and became these spaces. He links to this space.
I wonder if we could ever do that.
Maybe when I retire I’ll open up a good coffee place at church. We have the WiFi. We have a cool and shaded patio/basketball court.
Install a fireplace for winter. Comfy couches.
I’ve always imagined a coffee shop called "Cafe Bololo" which translated is Black Coffee.
I wonder???? I wish it could be. I’d be over there right now sipping a cup and having good conversation. Or maybe writing this from that spot.

A day of paying bills, visiting my aunt, visiting with my boys who came up for travel immunizations.
It was good to spend some time without being rushed between work and obligations. I wonder if I will have enough time to catch up on this kind of spending time on people. And there are a lot of other things I need to catch up on too – like the cleaning out of the storage room, the garage, the basement, my room, the packed up kitchen boxes that still wait.
I guess there will always be more work than time. And when I am on vacation, I waste time just puttering around aimlessly some days.
But I got a real good start tonight on one of the papers I must have in to finish off my summer class. And the books I need for the next part are ordered. Began to investigate some of the other arrangements for the class coming up too. We are a small and backward town when trying to hunt down certain things – like experienced people in what has been an little known calling. Trust God has some plan in mind here…
