A Cup of Grace
with a shot of espresso
Welcome,
Grab a cup and cozy up
I find coffee both comforting and energizing. For me, spending time in my Bible with a good cup of coffee in hand is the best way to start my day. Feeding my mind and soul is not a luxury but an important part of my overall health.
Over the years, God has used this time to teach me many lessons. He has calmed my fears, confronted my sins, and encouraged my heart. I want to share some of that with you.
So, even if you’re not into coffee, I invite you to join me in discovering or rediscovering God’s abundant grace, but I also hope to challenge us to take action – to allow the warmth of His love to infuse our lives and change us that we might carry His comforting yet energizing aroma into the world around us.

At the very end of the episode we were watching, Judge Harry Stone is having a monologue, or maybe it’s a prayer.…
