Scenes from the airport...

So was traveling on business the other day. While in the airport, I sat down in a comfortable chair in Starbucks to read. It didn't take long for my ADD to kick in so I started people watching, and man were there a lot of people to watch! I was there for about 45 minutes and the line always had at least five people in it. The interesting thing was that no one in line was under 35. I didn't poll them or anything but it wasn't the typical young crowd that you see at Starbucks. I was honestly perplexed. I had previously assumed that the Starbucks fad was for young people and the older generation thought we were crazy for spending so much money on a cup of coffee. Well either my perception was wrong, though valid since I have heard that statement before, or the trend is changing. Whatever the case, Starbucks coffee seems to be like music... Its spans across generations and cultures, and connects us all through an experience. So I started thinking, wouldn't it be great if we made Christ the center that spans across generations and cultures? If we let Him define who we were every day, if we truly loved people unconditionally, if we served people, if we showed grace because it has been shown to us, I wonder if it would permiate the world in a way that we have never seen? Then we would all be connected by an unexplainable and amazing experience, that is Christ Jesus our Lord. What if it started with me or you.... I wonder?
