As I sit here in the Hunter's Crossing Coffee Culture location I am listening to WGLT radio online. That is the great NPR, public radio station based in Bloomington-Normal, my hometown. I used to listen to that station every morning for at least an hour. They would give me the local news, national and world news with NPR, and then great jazz music all day. As I heard the newcaster's voice it really took me back. It's funny how certain sounds or voices are connected with memories and places. It was a good memory. Now they're talking about the Illinois State Fair. We went last summer and really enjoyed it, another great memory.
I'm opening here at Hunter's all week. We open at 6:00 here instead of 5:30 so I get to sleep in a bit and the opening is easier here as well. But, we're not as busy so there isn't as much tip money. The quiet is nice though so I don't mind it.
Tonight we're going to our first "family fellowship dinner" at Harvest. We're trying to get more involved, get to know people and make a positive impact in the church as she goes through this transition. We hope, if you're a praying person, you'll pray for Harvest during this time. We really feel that there's lots of potential for growth and moving forward with vision and hope we can be a part of that. Let us know how you're doing!
