My old pastor used to say we ALL think we are the exception, but I had to laugh because the guy does make a point.
However, I don't plan on removing the mention of my love for coffee out of my sidebar, because while I am one of millions who enjoy a good cup of coffee, not everyone has a husband who knows coffee like mine, and managed a coffee shop, and can make that cute little heart pattern on the top of their lattes. And perhaps I mention the coffee not to set myself apart, but to join myself with the millions? And lastly, (and then I'll hop off) I most certainly DO NOT appreciate poorly roasted coffee. Starbucks would fit in that category (although if you catch me there it's because you can't really taste the coffee once it's mixed with cream, caramel, etc.) but I'm not judging. The man God gave me...he gave it to me, and I did drink...
I though this commenter said it well:
from Nathan
As a card carrying coffee loving Christian I must raise a small objection. There’s “liking” coffee, and there’s liking coffee. For some people, even those who list coffee on their online profiles, coffee is that powdered stuff you add to water and stir. There are those for whom “coffee” means a drink that has been rendered unrecognisable by the addition of syrups, sauces and sweeteners.
For others there’s an obsession that extends to roasting beans at home and owning ex-commercial machines.
There needs to be space for the latter to declare their love/obsession/addiction/snobbery. How do you suggest these coffee savants do that?
