Take time for a coffee break

Ron and I used to take about 30 minutes in the afternoons to make a pot of coffee, find a donut or Little Debbie's something or other and just connect with each other. I don't know when we stopped it - probably about the time I started working at Westgate and wasn't home in the afternoons anymore. Then he started working his three part-time jobs and that put another kink into our time together. I remember we'd just talk about stuff. Remember things the kids had done, things we want to do, synchronize our schedules and talk about Bible stuff. I think I miss that most of all - talking about whatever Bible study we were doing at time.

I'm glad some of us ladies are studying Hebrews on Thursday mornings right now. Getting back into routine weekly study has been good for me. Reminds me I need accountability and also that there are others who need what this class provides - looking in God's word to find out why we believe what we believe. There are a lot of choices in how to do this. We just decided on Hebrews - the big picture of Christ as Son of God, as God, as Savior, as Lord, as High Priest and as the one who will return one day to receive us to himself. It's been fun. Not sure how much longer it will take.

But it seems like a big coffee break for me during the week - even though we have donuts and Diet Coke.
