My Son’s Favorite Music
On Facebook my son Kyle listed his favorite music:
-In Spring: the Robin’s song,
-In Summer: the sound of the water of Lake Michigan or the soft noise of the Pere Marquette River and the hiss of my fly-line,
-In Fall: the sound of crunching leaves,
-In Winter: the music of wind in the pines or a crackling fire.
That’s fine poetry if you ask me.

Pride and Prejudice
The last few hours of Christmas day are slipping away. God has been very good to us. We exchanged a huge pile of gifts, and Lois made all our favorite Christmas dishes and desserts. Friends from the church made us a counter-full of Christmas baked goods. The house was alive with chatter and laughter all day, well, most of the day. The girls all watched the six-hour version of Pride and Prejudice which they have done repeatedly vowing that it gets better every time they see it. Just overhearing the dialog makes me want to jump into the Detroit River. It was a great day, though, because while all the women were busy watching Mr. Darcey stare in mute silence at Miss Elizabeth I spent time with Kyle Kenneth.
I hope you had a good Christmas and that you are making plans for a New Year that will honor the Lord and bring you and your family great joy and fulfillment.
Granville Cottage
Christmas Day 2007
Granville Cottage
In the classic movie, “It’s A Wonderful Life” George and Mary Bailey renovate an old house called the Granville House. As their family grows they fill the house with children, friends, and love. The house is drafty and in need of attention but over time they transform it into a beautiful home, especially after God sends an unusual angel to show George in a unique way how wonderful his life really is.

Bearclaw Coffee
I like to brew my own coffee from The Melting Pot in Rockford, Michigan. It’s the very best I have ever had. When I ran the Character Inn in Flint it was the house coffee. People raved about it. But if I am ever in a rush and want a quick drive-through gormet coffee, this little shop is convenient. It is just one mile south of the church, right on my way. It’s a lovely little shop, isn’t it? Bearclaw Coffee is pretty good stuff on a winter day. The workers there were cheerful, too. Cheerfullness is like caffeine for the soul. Hey, Caffeine for the Soul, I like that.
Cheerfulness is Cafeine for the Soul
Prosperity in 2008
By Ken Pierpont
A mile south of the church is a business called Bear Claw Coffee. I spoke to the owner the other day. I asked him how business was. Last year was his first year in business so it was an expensive start-up. He is hoping that 2008 will be a profitable, prosperous year. I hope so too. I want them to be around for a long time. Yesterday when I looped through to get my morning “joe” they handed my cup out the window with a little Tootsie Roll on top of it. Nice touch. They don’t do that at Starbucks.
I wish for you real prosperity in 2008. There is no genuine prosperity without spiritual prosperity, no matter how many pounds you loose, no matter how much money you make.
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. (3) For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. (4) I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. 3 Jn 1:2-4 NKJV
I hope they sell a lot of lattes and coffees at Bear Claw and I hope they are there for years to come. I enjoy a warm exchange and a strong, black coffee to warm me in my Jeep on the way to the study. If you think of it, pray for me that I will prosper spiritually in this New Year. Pray that I will be able to influence the good people at Bear Claw to prosper in every way. May God prosper you and yours too and make the Stonebridge a part of that.
