This is a virtual cafe where all ideas are entertained all facts discerned, all topics discussed. And just because the proprietor has a passion for Christ, books, and the Acoustic guitar, that doesn't mean you can't veer wildly off into different subjects. So, come in, have a coffee (imported especially from Verble's finca in El Salvador), and talk about whatever you want.

Poem of the Day (from the Academy of American Poets)
The earth is motionless And poised in space … A great bird resting in its flight Between the alleys of the stars. It is the wind’s hour off …. The wind has nestled down among the corn …. The two speak privately together, Awaiting the whirr of wings.
