Dream

I had a dream . . . I know the last guy who said that actually had an impact on the world - don't get to excited about my dream - nothing earth shattering here.

One of the things Buff and I enjoy doing together is going to coffee shops, finding a quiet corner with comfy chairs and talking. The problem is that a lot of other people have the same idea and so we often have to compete for the atmosphere we so desire. (Now there is a picture for you - Buff and Tina dueling it out with another couple for the couch at Starbucks!)

So, I had this dream that Buff and I were looking for a place to talk and we found a sports bar that was in a house. The house was loaded with couches and tables for people to sit around and talk. Now don't worry. In my dream - we only ordered a pizza.

I woke up inspired. Wouldn't it be great to have a place where there were plenty of couches, chairs, and tables around so that people could just come and sit. Maybe play a quiet game. Maybe just talk. Maybe study. We could serve coffee - there's is nothing like the smell of coffee to help someone relax (I personally don't drink the stuff - can you be addicted to the smell? I have discovered the joys of a vanilla steamer - mmmmmm! - and coffee free too!). Lots of rooms. Lots of places to sit. No dueling allowed.

We could have a library/reading room or possibly a bookstore where people who wander in could leave with a good book and inspired to live their week to count for Christ.

If it were in a house, the upstairs could be converted into a small/ cozy getaway for couples in ministry who just need to get away . . .

Okay, so that is my dream. It isn't going to change the world, but it was fun to think it up! I told Buff that he needs to let me know when he has saved our first million $ so we can get started.

Yeah, he laughed at me too.
