A Taste of Crunchiness

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Abs and I went to Starbucks yesterday for her to get some reading done (which she did not) and for me to work on sermon ideas (which I got very little done). Overall, it was a good time because we brought Rocky with us who was declared the Starbucks greeter. Honestly about 30 people stopped by Rocky and petted him. We met many interesting people including local business workers, a dog trainer (she did give me some pointers), and sctgm. What is a sctgm? It is what Aaron calls a Super Crunchy Turbo Granola Momma. I have grown fond of SCTGM since hanging out with the Gallahers. They have taught me a lot about the environment, recycling, and natural foods. This SCTGM made her living by selling necklaces and bracelets that she made. Abs and I talked with her and her boyfriend for a while. The girl left to go get her box of goodies. I saw a cool necklace I liked and bought one…even though it is not something that I would normally wear since I have often been called a metro-sexual. Abigail wanted her own special necklace made because she is difficultJ Abigail wanted a larger necklace made with different beads etc. I gave the girl my number just in case she finished so that she could give us a call. Before we left, Abigail and the sctgm had an awesome talk, which resulted in a hug. After starbucks, we went to Charlie Browns where we met a man that Abigail has been talking with at Starbucks over the past few weeks. Also, Heather came and joined us. Heather is new to ATS and wanted to get involved outside of ATS. While we were at Charlie Browns the sctgm came and had finished the huge necklace in about a half and hour. We talked with her more for a few minutes and Abigail pulled the coffee trigger on her. They are going out tonight for coffee, so please pray.

I think I may have found a place to live that I am checking out tomorrow. Also, I may have found a few roommates. It is cool because Jason and Tawndee Dillard already live in the area, then I will be moving in with two other guys, and in January, Abigail and a friend will be moving into the area. There are some awesome things happening and I am excited about what God is going to do next.
