I work from coffee shops.  In my church we have space for an office, but nobody works from there.  Why?  Well, because I have no opportunity to meet anyone new (Christian or non) from the "all-mighty church building."  I've had an office for many years so I don't think it's a bad thing.  In fact I think it can be helpful at times for many different reasons.  But personally, for me, in this season of my life, it's not best, ideal, or even healthy.

I love to meet new people and I do so all the time in coffee shops.

Yesterday I met a wonderful immigrant German woman.  For sake of this blog let's call her Rose (great German name, huh!?).  I'm guessing Rose is about 70 and she moved to the US 4 1/2 years ago.  She is a very sharp lady.  She's "not affiliated" with any religion "Catholic or Protestant" (her words).  She was a part of the "Protestant Organization" for a time, thought about being a Catholic, but is happily not in either.
