YARDDOG AND RANDY

"Hey, Preacher Man ... that is how one of my best friends addressed his email to me this morning ... Want to have coffee at the "Christian place"?

There is a lot behind this email; I'll just unpack a bit of it.

The sender; he is a former Christian pastor who has more or less given up organized Christian Churches. Both of us are fond of saying we "have church" every Saturday morning. AS we have sat in some outdoor chairs that face the Sierra Madre Mountains, we have seen the seasons.

Funny part about it is that the coffee shop owned by the church down the street. But more importantly I suppose if I had such a thing as a "spiritual councilor" it would be him. Our lives change as we shared the deep parts of our then lives.
