So the other day I was on my way out of Starbucks with my Venti Latte (one of my greatest weaknesses), and like I do every time I turned over the cup to read "The Way I See it". Now it is not recommended to read and walk... it is much like reading and driving.. but when you are walking it seems to be worse because you feel less responsible for the lives of others, at least that's the case for me... anyway I am walking up Broadway and reading this interesting, yet slightly odd, thought on the back of my cup and as I am in the middle of crossing the street.. which because I was reading I was not completely aware I was crossing without the walking man's permission... a car honks, I read who wrote the opinion, and for a split second I get stuck in the middle of the street... car coming... and my brain trying to get around the fact that I actually know the person with the opinion... Not as a close friend by any means... but I have some rather funny memories of my best friend and I sitting in his church trying to figure out his new theology.. but when the contact cards came around we made up completely bogus names so as not to get junk mail. Why didn't we just not fill them out.. I have no idea. So since you are reading this I lived to blog another day... and learned not to read and walk!

Carlton Pearson. Hmm? He made it on a Starbuck's cup. Good for him.
Next time you're walking and reading perhaps you'll look up every few words. I mean, it would be sad if you got hit by a cab on Broadway while reading. What would Oprah say?
Play with caution in the street!
that's cool that he got something on 'the' cup. i remember that whole thing too... it was crazy. i ran camera for his conferences every year and i was there when he preached it to his people, and then saw people start getting up and leaving. there were a few things that i wasn't quite sure that i agreed with, but overall, i had no problem with what he was saying. if nothing else, he stirred up the crazy christians for a bit. :)
