“Addicted”
January 15, 2012
My wife said, “You’re addicted.” According to the dictionary a person is said to be addicted when they “devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively.” She was referring to my stopping by that place where they sell the coffee. You know the one whose name begins with what lights up the sky at night (star) and ends with what you better have several of when ordering a cup (bucks). A few weeks ago when traveling from Florida, I ordered my favorite blend while at the airport, white chocolate mocha. I was shocked to hear, “We’re all out of that.” What? That can’t be! I was quick to remind them that everything is better in Texas and that we had a bounty of it over here. Uh, that is until this past week, when the shortage reached the Metroplex. “Manufacturing problems” I was told. This past Wednesday morning I went by a small, rather unknown location of the franchise, approached the counter and said, “Tell me sir, hast thou any white chocolate mocha back there?” With a smile on his face, Dave (my new best friend), said, “We’ve got plenty man!” The locale will remain secret for obvious reasons. Okay, I admit it, I am fond of the beverage, but addicted? I don’t think so. Anyway, aren’t we supposed to pull the beam out of our own eye before we pull the mocha out of our brother’s? (taken from the DPV). Seriously now, I trust you are forming and practicing some good habits this year, like reading your Bible and praying everyday. Remember the example of Steve’s family: “I beseech you, brethren, (ye know the house of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits of Achaia, and that they have addicted themselves to the ministry of the saints,)” 1 Corinthians 16:15
Believing White Chocolate Mocha to be the Preferred Beverage at the Marriage Supper,
Bro David
(I have no Scriptural reference for the above opinion)
