Let Freedom Ring....

Well, it's Wednesday & the Memorial Day Weekend is now a memory.....The weather was awesome & I hope we all took at least a moment or two to remember all the military members who died in service to our country & to those who still serve.......It is also a time to remember our loved ones who have past on.....I am not the 'John Wayne' type, but I do love this country & am proud that my Dad & his 3 sons all served in the US Army......I just wish we would all focus on what America still can be & not on what was or is.....We still have to rid ourselves of prejudice, it once was felt by the Irish, Italians & so many more who came here from other places.....We all talked a little different, ate different foods & brought along habits from our own cultures....Than it was the Blacks, the Hispanics & now the Middle Eastern, Mexicans & even Chinese etc.....It is also pretty sad that our country can not find the means to get these guns out o...

It Is All About You, Jesus.....

The Cafe is still chugging along, only I wish it was moving forward at a little faster pace.....That's the 'instant gratification' we all seem to want......I should know better as it is in God's hands and at His pace & time......I truly do want to always give Him the praise, honor & glory, but my pride & humanness get in the way so often.......I worry & stress when He wants us to always just give it all up to Him.....I pray that I can be a better leader of my family, business & community.......A better man who is not quick to anger & can love & forgive as Jesus has set the example for us to follow........I am so thankful for God's grace & His never ending love for us all.....Without them I would be just going through the motions believing that I somehow controlled the outcomes of this journey......How cool it is to be assured that the best is yet to come!.......Thanks for allowing me to share & for all the prayers & support......

Where Have All the Flowers / Customers Gone?....

Well Spring is in full bloom & the flowers are amazing.....Spring is of course the season of a 'new day' a rebirth!....I was hoping for the same here @ the Cafe, but we seem to have lost our 'blooms'......How can one understand how sales can dip these past weeks when we are doing everything as always & that has gotten us 'rave' reviews in the past?...We are @ a crossroads & I can only pray that we will survive this 'wilting' process we seem to be in.....So I will say & even sing, "Where have all the flowers gone...long time passing...long time ago".....Thanks for allowing me to share & for all your prayers & support.....
It has been a while since I have updated my progress here @ the Cafe.....So today I will ......Business has been off these past 2 weeks & I have no explanation as to why.....I am still confident that we will turn the corner soon to profitability, but I am human & do worry that it needs to happen soon!!......Some changes will need to be made & some have already been implemented, but all are behind the scenes stuff so the 'front of the house' will all be the same......It is the same whether it's a business or home the budget needs to be reworked every now & than to keep up with the constant financial changes that occur....We are 'trimming the fat' & doing all we can to cut expenses.......As always I put this in God's hands.....Thanks for allowing me to share & for all your prayers & support.....
