My writing is an extension of Creating Women Ministries, the website I founded as an adventure born of a blended love of God and good conversation. More traditionally this is called theology, literally God talk. In my world this is called have a cup of coffee with God and some friends and see what happens. Growing up, I was influenced by several adults possessed of strong beliefs and a love of coffee. One was my childhood minister, the other a beloved family friend. Blessed by their life examples, and drawn to the rich aroma that only Folgers in the bright red tin can offer, I was twice blessed by their respect for me as a person with opinions and beliefs of my own. They talked about God as if they had spent time together, enjoyed the relationship and planned to continue on with it for awhile. They encouraged me to do the same. My adult life is also populated with a generous circle of faithfully opinionated coffee drinkers. Blessed many times over in this part of my life, I hope to share the pleasures of conversation with and about God in this new format with many more of the same. Put on a pot and join us.
And while you do that, take some time to visit with us at http://www.creatingwomenministries.com/s_90.asp and discover "10 Ways to a Closer Relationship with God." It's a great way to try on your faith and see how it fits.
