Coffee with Jesus

Have you ever thought about what type of coffee Jesus drinks?  Is he a sugar and cream guy? or does he go for the flavor shots? or is Jesus more of the purest, black only?

I am not sure too much about what he likes, but I can tell you in the year that I have been in North East, he hasn't drank a single sip of the coffee I made for him... maybe he is a tea guy?

I like to get to the church early, before the rest show up and the day starts.  I like to have a cup of coffee and talk to God for a bit.  It's kind of a ritual for me.  A tradition if you will.  And traditions and rituals aren't bad.  They help to get us going, put us on the right track, make us ready for the day.  Sometimes rituals can have a bad affect by consuming your needs.  If a tradition becomes only a thing you do because you feel you must to please God, then a tradition becomes an idol to you.

So far I don't worship coffee.  Although I enjoy it, I don't worship it.  Coffee does provide a great avenue for you to get together with people.  It works for me to get together with Jesus.
