i heart starbies.

I really heart starbies. If you don't know what "starbies" is, it is because it is a pet-name I just made up for my favorite "waste-lots-o-time" hotspot. AKA Starbucks. I come here almost everyday. At least every weekday. Sometimes I don't even get anything to drink. But I love people watching here. I love wondering what people are heading to do, what they are coming from, what their lives are like.

In case you want to join my creepiness, I am always at the 1st and Wads Starbies. I was talking to a friend about this last night--The cool thing about this Starbucks is the fact that almost everytime I come, there is a conversation going on about Jesus. (Yes, I eavesdrop also... get over it). ;)

I am not sure what draws people to Starbucks to talk about Jesus... but it always happens. And I am always so encouraged and rejoiced to know that my sisters and brothers are literally everywhere. They are working and moving even when the world seems so dark and yucky. They are still shining a light in the blackness. They are still engaging in tough conversations... answering the tough questions. I mean, as everyone knows... "Let's get Starbucks!" is an open invitation to a very interesting and deep theological/philosophical conversation.

Right now, I am addicted to refresh tea. Also to a no-water chai. And to an iced upside-down caramel (pronounced "car-mel") macchiato. So, if you ever want to get coffee. Talk about Jesus. And people watch. Join me at Starbies. I would love the company.
