Drinking some stout, flavorful full-kick pour-over to jump start some writing this afternoon. I surfed over to Kyle’s site to read a post he had written about coffee. I noticed this on our first-born son Kyle’s bio…. thought it made heart-warming reading… It’s a growing list of things he loves:
Jesus, coffee, my wife, my three sons K2, Ollie and Leland, photography, backpacking, canoeing, fixed-gear bikes, fly-fishing, snowboarding, body surfing, skim-boarding, beach-combing, cliff-jumping, reading, assurance of salvation, push ups, crunches, trail running, wrestling with my sons, hibernation days with my family, kayak surfing in the Atlantic, my Creator, cuddling on the couch with my wife, ohio state football, graph paper, the gospel, micro uni-ball pens, sunday night football, my macbook, playing my Parkwood guitar, Jesus’ stories, ping-pong, tennis with my wife, driving through the night, storytelling, days off, catching pan-fish with my sons off the dock of my in-laws cottage in northern Michigan, the corner store, coffee via the pour-over method, american pickers, roasting coffee, a sweatshirt on a cool autumn day, an occasional herbal tea, Lake Michigan, just a little sun burn, campfires, listening to my sons laugh, dates with my girlfriend, roller-coasters, northwest Michigan, flannel shirts, autumn, the feeling of a fish on, the common loon, eagles, trails in the woods, fruit and vegetable juice, a fresh jonathan apple from the tree, Christmas music on the day after Thanksgiving, the speckled back of a trout, the call of a wild turkey, rainy days, saturday mornings, hunting for the perfect Christmas tree, occasional big breakfasts, autumn… (and the list continues to grow)
