cravings, meetings, and cold

Today has been a different day for me.  First of all, I met several people that rocked my world - in the sense that I can be excited about my work through them all over again.  It is interesting to me that though I didn't get my morning java this morning - I didn't crave it.  We all crave something, for me its usually coffee.  However, today - like I said before - was different.  Perhaps, it was who I met while in district meetings.  My hope is to start contribute to a group of people who are an emergent group of people in Fort Worth Texas.  It starts with Pastors Michael and Amy Scarlett.  They are fantastic people who actually want to live out what they believe and it is so refreshing to me.  Most meetings, especially ones that are required are a drag.  This type of meeting is no different... it's usually sit around for several hours only to be in a meeting some ten minutes.  While that drives me crazy in the efficiency department, the company seemed to pass the time without me even realizing that it had gone by.  In the mix of the day is the bitter cold that has seemed to possess Fort Worth in the past few days.  I am not a cold weather person if there is wind.  There is always some sort of wind here - so try wind with below zero temperature - not fun.  So, what can take some of the drag away from cold and meetings - new friends that refresh attitudes.  Meet someone new today.
