The problem with being a coffee snob is this: Not everyone you have coffee with buy freshly roasted coffee, grind it just before making it and use just the right amount of coffee to water ratio, not to mention the type of cup and temperature of the water used to make the coffee. No, most of the times someone offer me coffee, they plan to give a spoonful of the stuff coming out of that big yellow tin, which is fine if that is the way you drink your coffee.

But not me, I am a coffee snob.

So I ask for a cup of tea instead and I don’t even like tea.

That’s also the problem with being on a very specific spiritual journey. This doubtful believing path I have chosen to explore is in the end a very lonely path. Out here in Religion Country, most people prefer the more “straight and narrow” Way of understanding Faith. So whenever someone offers me a cup of Spirituality, they mean to talk about God like the way they do at their church, or their bible study, or through the words of the latest paperback quick fix that they got from a friend who got from a friend who got it from their pastor whom in turn got it from the writer himself, which is fine if that is the way you unpack your Faith.

But not me, I am a doubtful believer.

So I change the topic and talk about the weather instead and I don’t even like winter...
