Checking the Mail Box

I just came back from checking the mail box. Normally checking the mail would be no big deal but today it's note worthy.  The walk to the mail box across the parking was 120 strides.  My stride is approximately 30 inches, so if you double those 120 strides which would be a round trip to the mail box and back you come up with 240 strides times 30 inches per stride which would equal 7,200 inches from the front door to the mail box and back.  Now take those 7,200 inches and divide them by 12 inches in a foot and you discover that the mail box is 600 feet from the front door of the "Holy Grounds Cafe'" and I probably should mention that I made the trip without a coat and the temperature here in Topeka, KS., is 11 degrees.  Please don't ask why I didn't wear my coat.  Today there was only one item in the mail box, it just happened to be from the North American Mission Board in Atlanta GA. The item in the mail box was 8 sets of 6 prayer cards of people who represent the work of thousands of other people serving throughout North America.  The people on these prayer card are:

Ben & Shauna Pilgreen
Church Planting Missionaries
San Francisco, CA.

Peter & Irene Yanes
Church Planting Missionaries
Havertown, PS

Scott & Ashley
Church Planting Missionaries
Chicago, Il

Kay Bennett
Baptist Friendship House
New Orleans, LA

Victor & Candice Thomas
Church Planters
Burnaby, BC

Lorna Bius
LoveLoud Missionary
Aurora, CO.

One of the things we at the Holy Grounds Cafe' enjoy doing is praying for peoples needs.  The trip to the mail box today was a reminder that God has people all over the world telling others about His love for them and we here in Topeka KS. are part of that group.  Want to know more about Christ and His love you "YOU"?  stop by and we'll talk.
