I'm a Fruitcake
I had coffee today with a friend and former NCCer that now lives in China and works for the World Bank. It was his first time seeing Ebenezers--our coffeehouse on Capitol Hill.
The cool thing is that he was part of the leadership team that I pitched the vision to about five years ago. And he said and I quote: "I thought you were a fruitcake." Hey, he's not the only one :) And I can't blame him. Our coffeehouse used to be a crackhouse. But I've learned over the years that the more God-ordained the dream the crazier it will seem.
Pretty cool for my friend to finally see the fruitcake dream that has turned into a coffeehouse. He was one of the early shareholders.
Maybe I'll send him a fruitcake for Christmas :)

Love to hear about the development of Ebeneezer's in more detail. I am in the midst of a church-planting endeavor. We have an opportunity to pursue a couple of unique venues. Not sure if the best way is to blog back and forth or what. Look forward to hearing from you.
Ben.
