There is no spoon!
I like sugar free coco in my coffee cause unlike Ernie, I just can’t bring myself to pay 4 bucks for a cup of coffee (It’s blasphemous!!!!). I’ve found that if I get a small coffee & then try to put in the coco, it spills out around the edges. But if i get a large cup filled 3/4 of the way, there’s plenty of room for coco, whipped cream, maybe even a dash of kaluha. I also keep plenty of extra coco in case someone else wants some—but I never try to force my coco on anyone! (Make your own spiritual analogy–it’s 1 am & I’m just rambling like Howard Dean at an MSNBC interview)

I would say “amen” too. In Avatar, they had a line that says: “You can’t put anything in a cup that’s already full.” May the day come when we can revel in our emptiness, so that the lifes of those around us might fill us up.

Awesome feedback everyone, and it encourages me the likemindednes and connectedness we can all have regardless of distances (potentially ecumenically and in miles)!

Jared- Something tells me that you are more than capable of doing it. I sense the compassion all the way from Colorado!
Mike- Kudos to the Florida consciousness which takes the time to attune to other voices: different frequences with a similar resonance.

Posts like this gets me all worked up/excited and almost spouting off an “Amen!” at my computer screen! Exclusivity in doctrinal beliefs is so pervasive and rampant in my church even though it prides itself in being inclusive and seeker-friendly. Yeah, whatever! We’re not even close to the ideals/values expressed in this post. I’ve got much work to do here!

I was sitting still this morning and a thought came to me. Listen and Learn. I am listening to what I am being taught by God through others, by listening to what they say, by reading, music, and what I hear in the Spirit. There are many ways to hear God and I agree no one has the monopoly on that. He equips people through books, music, tv, radio, and nature. We all have a part in this diverse universe and the more we explore, and enjoy it, we will learn as Ernie puts it, better playmates.
