The Best Part of Waking Up

You say you have faith

In a claim yet unproven…

Folgers in your cup

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature.

Frank Lloyd Wright

There was once a claim, some might call it a jingle, that says, “The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup.” Well, I would argue with that and change it to “Starbucks in your cup,” but that’s just me. Subscribing to a particular religion for many, many years has taught me that we all have faith in something. I have faith that the sun will rise again, that I’ll have weeds in my yard, and that it will get warm in the summer months. This life force is my god and it is in my heart, not out there somewhere. I don’t have to die to know if it’s true or not. I live in peace, in the moment, and coffee is one of nature’s greatest pleasures. Nasmaste!

I Believe In Coffee

I asked God one time

If he could help me believe…

I hate cold coffee

 Then he brought them outside and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.”

Acts 16:30-31 NRSV

Believing in Jesus is the key to the Christian religion. There are tons of Bible verses that say “if you believe” you’ll have eternal life, prayers will be answered, and so on. Now I can’t seem to find any that tell you “how to believe.” The Apostle Thomas got direct proof from Jesus that he was the Savior. But, I wasn’t there with Thomas and I want the same kind of proof. Praying doesn’t work unless you believe (Matthew 21:22). You’re not saved (given salvation) unless you believe (Acts 16:30-31). So, how does one believe? If someone told me that my wife was sleeping with another man, I wouldn’t just believe them.
