The Atmosphere of Coffee

Call me a little artsy. Maybe too introspective. Definitely a nerd, but I love the atmosphere of coffee. On my Twitter yesterday I made this statement that I’d like to expound on for all your sanctification and growth.

I THINK I LIKE COFFEE MORE FOR THE ATMOSPHERE IT CREATES THAN THE ACTUAL DRINK.

I’m not just talking about sweet locations like Starbucks, Crazy Mocha, or your favorite local coffee shop. I’m talking about everywhere you hold in your hands a good cup of joe. It’s transformative to me on a number of levels:

• Coffee assists me in ‘enjoying the moment’. Slow down and take it all in.
• True, meaningful conversation does not happen without coffee.
• Very helpful for the morning devo’s.
• Visiting a Starbucks makes any routine outing worth it.
• The smell of freshly ground coffee is like being on vacation.
