"The Coffee Shop" #6

[Sherrie]

This was posted on the #5 thread, so will carry it over:

The Rules for "The Coffee Shop" are simple.

Fighting is absolutely not tolerated. This is a refuge from the outside board. When things are heavy laden out there you come in and sit down and cool off.

Imagination is a must! The more the better, and must include everyone.

Jim1999 handles the devotions, blackbird the sermons, jonmagee is culture, followinghim handles deliveries, and Ed and Betty are our Newly Weds, and FYG is so inspirational, and I need Wisdom Seeker to help me Keep Blackbird in line. Oh and Sue..shes a poet and knows it. Theres plenty more...but you will see.

At no time do you let blackbird bring Tractor/diesel/Heavy equipment in here or its parts. Or any more bait! Guns go on the rack.

Fellowship is a must, and topics range from anything to anything, and many at one time.

Now, could you be a sweetie and wipe off those tables over there. I think someone had muddy boots on when they came in, and I need to mop it up.

Oh if a reporter from Oklahoma comes in and his name is rsr...well he kind of runs the place too. Make sure too Rod gets his favorite flavor of drink too. Such a sweetie. I would adopt him if he wasn't already someones child. Well he is an adult...but...well you know...

Then every once in a while DHK comes in. he likes sports. Be prepared...he loves sports. Oh shucks..don't forget Gib...preacher..theaterkid... Oh and then there is my little adopted brother ExxonMobil. Jimmy stops in once a day.

Ok have fun!

(Hope I did not forget anyone)

Rules are subject to change only by the proprietor.

[Wisdom Seeker]

How about a cup of Joe? Could use a respet. Did I spell that right? Oh who cares.

Think I'll have a Mocha Frappachino...yes you do have it...I made sure to install the machine. Consider that my contrabution to this much loved Coffee Shop.

 

[Charlotte Marcel]

May I join in here? I like the idea of a place like this. I've been reading some of the other threads. So much of it is just plumb over my head.

So I keep real quiet and just read, hoping something will sink in.

How is everyone?

Happy Anniversary Ed and Betty...and may you have many many more.

God Bless You,
Charlotte

 

[Sherrie]

Hi charlotte! Helpie selfie around here!

So hows business Wisdom Seeker? Little slow now. Well I guess I am getting off the net for awhile. You girls are in charge!

Oh....I will be back. I am having a senior moment.

Sherrie

 

[Gib]

All in favor of Charlotte joining, please give the favorable nod. All oppose.....surely there are none.

 

[rsr]

The place seems to be a little bigger than the last shop, Sherrie. Plenty of room for Blackbird's catalog operation. Just make sure he doesn't introduce any multi-level marketing schemes ...

 

[RodH]

I got the same message Sherrie. I don't know if it was you or me. Thanks for editing the ending to Coffee Shop #5.

 

[Sherrie]

Rod...my daughter sent me an email, same thing happened. So it must have been my server. Because I noticed I did not get any mail this weekend. I am looking now to find out why.

Hows the new lamp shade?

[AdoptedDaughter]

[Sherrie]

Sad News in Siloam Springs tonight: One Killed, Five Injured In School Bus Accident

 

[AdoptedDaughter]

"Woke up this morning, with the years I've spent, hanging heavy on my mind. At times I see so much in me I wished I'd left behind. But the one thing I've learned, as the years have turned, and they sure have traveled fast. I don't have to stay where I am today, because this too shall pass.

This too shall pass. This too shall pass. And the tears that fall like raindrops now, will finally dry at last. This too shall pass.

Sometimes I'm laughing with a crowd of friends, and still I'll feel alone. There's a place inside full of tears I hide, that I've only cried alone. But I know that He's near. And I know He hears. And I know these tears won't last. This pain today will swept away because this too shall pass.

This too shall pass. This too shall pass. And the tears that fall like raindrops now, will finally dry at last. This too shall pass.

As night turns into morning, we will see the truth at last. The troubles come, to everyone, but they only come to pass!

This too shall pass. This too shall pass. And the tears that fall like raindrops now, will finally dry at last. This too shall pass."

[Thankful]

That's terrible Rod. I always am concerned about the children near the end of school, especially those that are driving. They are so excited about the end of school that they are not very careful.

Thanks everyone for the congratulations on Ed and my 16 month anniversary. We are still as happy as two bugs in a rug. (How do we know that bugs in a rug are Happy?) Anyway we are happy.

Thanks for the singing, AdoptedDaughter. REally adds class to the place.

Rod I posted in the prayer forum. It seems they do not know yet what the reason was for the accident?

I am deeply sorry for this.

[RodH]

On the news they said the driver may have been distracted by a student on the bus hitting other students with a rolled up piece of paper. The accident might have happened when the driver looked back to deal with the situation. It was a straight stretch of road. They also said the driver had been in another bus accident a year or two ago when he turned into another car. Whatever caused it, it will be a very sad way to close out the school year.

 

[Sherrie]

Yes it surely will. So sad.

[AdoptedDaughter]

Well...I'm going to head off home and to bed! I'll see you all tomorrow!
