The eternal connotations of coffee

Coffee is the second most produced product in the world, next only to oil. I heard a radio program this morning that presented a very interesting statment: Coffee, when ground, becomes a fragrant, delicious substance that can be turned into hot and cold drinks, flavoring for ice cream, cookies, and waffles, the industrial staple of an entire tropic island, and so much more. It's the same with us. When God grinds, squeezes, mashes us, when we are put under enormous pressure, then we can be turned into something fragrant and beautiful. That coffeee bean isn't of full value when it's in it's raw form. If we tell God to let us have and easy life, and not to let us suffer, than we are telling him "I want to do my own thing. I don't want to be something better - I'm happy where I am."

1 Peter 4:14
"If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, the spirit of Glory and of God rests upon you."

It'd not fun to be ground, but the rewards we will recieve in heaven are great indeed, for the suffering brings us close to God.

Matthew 5:10
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for my sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of God."

Will you ask God to grind you?

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.

I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post
to let you know. The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.
Kudos

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about
a year and am worried about switching to another platform.
I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I
can transfer all my wordpress posts into it?

Any help would be really appreciated!

I'm really loving the theme/design of your weblog. Do you ever run into any internet browser compatibility issues? A handful of my blog audience have complained about my blog not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome. Do you have any tips to help fix this problem?
