'Til Tuesday...

Well, I got the menu finished, and am trying to finish up the Training Manual. I think we are still on time, and it will be good to have both things finished. There are some other REALLY cool things that we have been talking about, involving Alex Brown, that we are very excited about. As many of you know, Alex was my head volunteer at the old Bean'ry, if I had a manager, he was probably it. He went on to manage a couple of other coffeehouses, and still works at one in Athens. There is a good possibility that he will be joining us down there with his future wife, and doing things with surfing, music, and coffee. We are all working on the logistics of getting them down there, but that would be very cool. I know and trust Alex very well, and would love to work side by side with him again. He is very dependable, trustworthy, and has the same heart for coffeehouse ministry April and I share. Like I said, we are working on the specifics, but he definitely wants to help out, and we would be stoked to let him! It's very cool to see so many of my old friends excited about the new Bean'ry, and supporting it. Many of you have e-mailed asking how you could help, and if I can think of something, I will let you know. You can pray, that's for sure.

Other than that, not much going on. We are going hiking this Saturday in the mountains. It is supposed to be nice weather, and a few couples are going to join us. We have walked this five and a half mile moderate to strenuous trail before, and it is an awesome trail with lots of waterfalls, cool climbing, and delicious mountain stream water.

Today's good music releases include the new Matisyahu "Youth." You may recognize Matisyahu from the new P.O.D. CD "Testify", where he is featured on several of the songs donating his reggae flavor. Matsiyahu. A Hassidic Jew, is the real deal, and his music is HIGHLY infectious! It is currently the number 2 album on iTunes, for good reason. It is very good quality, and a very good message. Also the new Grits "7", which is a compilation of their many hits, and a couple of new ones.
Also, if you are a fan of Napoleon Dynamite, you have GOT to check this movie trailer out! It is for the new movie from the same director, and is hilarious! Click here: http://www.nacholibre.com/
