the affectionate communist

This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of spending some time with my good friend Mason King.

It was one of those nights, followed by a morning stop for coffee, that was a reconnecting of a much neglected (though much beloved) friendship.

Highlights:

• Angus and Sir Winston
• Jason the Crooked Tree Coffeehouse Barista
• Paris, London, Cancer, Seminary . . . all bearing evidence of our God’s varied and surprising grace.
• Introduction to Mason’s lovely girlfriend, Carly, who is way out of Mason’s league.
• My new french-made Fidel Cap
• Introduction to the ‘Affectionate Communist”
• The scoop on The Village Church’s new plant in Dallas

All told – it was an unexpected and unplanned chance to spend time with a friend who I love. respect, and appreciate very much.

Go check out Mason’s blog – he has good things to say when he gets the chance to say them.

And now, the recipe for the affectionate communist – my new favorite espresso beverage:

• 2 shots of espresso, pulled in mixture with 2 packets ‘sugar in the raw’
• 2 shots of water
• mix
• savor

. . . . . . .

If you could have one beverage with one ‘long lost friend’, who would it be and what would you drink?
