Coffee Mugs

Many of you know my wife, Kelly and I, but if you don’t I have a wife and her name is Kelly. Here she is:

That's her with Noah playing in the snow...Man! She is beautiful!

Anyway, we have an ongoing debate in our household over the proper container with which to carry coffee into a car. Kelly prefers to use a member from her extensive coffee mug collection:

I think this is ridiculous. We have cups SPECIFICALLY MADE FOR THE CAR!

This isn’t just  matter of opinion, the fact is that several of our poor mugs have been chipped, broken, or totally busted, because they are just not made for the rigors of a car. Not to mention all the times hot coffee has been spilled all over the place. In my eyes, there’s no argument that a coffee mug is not made for a car trip. Still can't convince Kelly though...

The truth is we are made for a specific purpose, too. I can’t give you specific reason why (just like I cant tell you why Kelly insists on brining mugs in the car) but all too often we try to fill our lives with things other than what we are made for. Be careful or sports, friends, ideas, people, etc. can start to become what you fill yourself with instead of God, who you are fearfully and wonderfully made for.
