the first morning.

so, "holy beans"?
if i'm honest, it was the only clever name i could come up with that portrayed my favorite part of the day. there are so many creative people out there blogging nowadays and i'm not sure i'm up to par... but here i am blogging (which i told myself i wouldn't do... who knows twitter might be next).

mornings are my favorite. i love coffee. i love sunrises. i love starting the day off with a run and a good cup coffee while reading, awaiting what the day may bring. there's something refreshing about it to me.

anyway, i wanted to make a blog that you can read while drinking a good cup of coffee... or, if you don't like coffee, tea or really any kind of beverage will do. and as a side note, if you don't like coffee you might want to try adding some flavored creamer (and by some i mean a lot) to a small cup of coffee. thats how i started drinking coffee and how i got lindsay, my sister in law, to start drinking. now we're both hooked.

i guess i'm convinced we are just so busy. i spend so much of my time planning, scheduling, or doing mindless things like wordswithfriends or pretending like i know what i'm doing with fantasy football. i feel like we should stop more. listen more. and talk about the things God says and does more. and that's what i wanted to do here.

i can promise you that this blog won't be filled with my opinions on various topics. that's just annoying to me. also, i can't guarantee there will be the best grammar and spelling(i've already used the spell check about 5 times... "guarantee" is a tricky word to spell). please bear with me, i think out loud and sometimes it shows. i can, however, promise you we can talk about truth and life together... and hopefully learn something new about, well, God.

... ok, so here we go. get your cup of coffee (or beverage of choice).
