Great Things Happen Here

I am pretty sure that when Howard Schultz founded Starbucks, it was nothing less than a God-inspired moment. Whether you are in one of the many metro-Atlanta locations or in Albany, Ga (where there are only 2), you are definitely in an environment that is well-equip for some of the best social interaction and creative thinking that you may possibly ever have. Aside from stirring in me an addiction for hot, caffeinated beverages, many of my best ideas, most gripping converations, and awe-inspiring think-tank sessions have been birthed over a Grande Caffe' Mocha (my drink of choice), a chill environment and a window seat. Let's face it! Great things happen here. Just to list a few:

  • Together Tuesdays: My Think-Tank sessions with two of the most insanely innovative minds I have ever known, Antwon Davis & Daniel Gilland. I have learned more about using marketing strategies to grow ministry, being authentic, and changing the face of American- Christianity with these guys more than anyone else in my 4 years of pursuing Jesus! I love doing ministry with yall!
  • The Chronological History of Lohm & More: Well, thanks to Jesus and the comforting sounds of Sinatra as I sip a Caffe' Mocha in my seat overlooking the city streets, I have started 2 novels that I plan to release in mid-2009! So stoked! Thank God for the gift of being a dork!
  • Say Anything!: We put our heads together for a few weeks and came up with this! A campaign to see what culture has to say about Christianity. We went around GSU asking the simple question: "If you could say ANYTHING to a Christian, what would it be?" Check out the webpage and see what students had to say. One of many ideas executed to get people to question their perception of Christ!
  • 140 or Less: An old buddy and mentor of mind dropped this one on me today, and it has been rocking my world! Vincent Hunt's mind is going to crush Albany, Ga...I promise you!

What's your Starbucks story?
