Minister of Mocha: a recovery blog to help you Rise Up!!

  • Late vs Never

    Your MoM woke up early today to record a podcast. Not bad, getting things done in advance, right? I felt pretty good about the recording and even scheduled my next recording session for the Christmas Day Special. After that I went to breakfast with a friend. I de-boned and cut up 17.5 lbs of pork…

  • Hoping

    This morning finds your MoM on the road. We are headed to a Prison Fellowship Hope Event where I will be speaking. It was cold when we left home and it’s even colder now that we are up in the mountains where the prison is located. Snow is on the ground, frost in the air,…

  • Hurry up and Wait

    As you might already know, I spend a lot of time in prisons. One thing you can count on in every prison I’ve every encountered is that time and schedule are a fluid thing. Let me re-state that, for inmates, schedule is fluid. When the “prison” makes a decision that something needs to happen, it…

  • The New New

    I never write these things until I write them. What I mean by that is that I try not to think about the blog until I’m writing it. I don’t have a file of “good blog topics” on my computer. I want it to be whatever occurs to me at the moment. Thursday I had…

  • Farewells and Boundaries

    I was blessed this weekend to get to be among those who saw Elton John at Dodger Stadium. It was a magical night, made all the better by the gifts that got us there. The tickets were a gift from a friend. Our dinner that evening was also provided through gift cards by the same…

  • Set Backs

    I received an email today to let me know that our classes at the prison will be put on hold for two weeks. “Modified Programming” is the official term, but basically it means that we won’t be back inside the prison until after Thanksgiving. As is frequently the case with governmental agencies, we are not…

  • It’s Your Choice

    Tomorrow is Election Day. We get to go to the polls and make some choices. Maybe you’ve already sent in your ballot. Maybe you’ll take that mail in ballot directly to the polls. Maybe you’ll skip the whole thing and not even vote. Some people will trust the process and some won’t. Some people will…

  • Trick or Treat

    It’s Halloween morning. I’m sure lots of you are excited for costumes and candy tonight. If you’re anything like me you might not even know what you will be yet! I’ll find out when my daughter gives me a costume later on tonight. That’s the Halloween side of things. It’s the “trick”. Trying to put…

  • Twenty Bucks!

    Back in the nineties there was a movie made that followed a $20 bill around. It began When a gust of wind took it from a man who had just visited the ATM. You can already see the age on the movie in that a person went to the ATM and only got $20! The…

  • Outlook

    No, not the Microsoft thing, I don’t want to get into that right now. I’m thinking about how we view the world. I’m spending the day with my mother today. She has an appointment with a doctor out of town so I am her Uber driver. We had to drive several hours, so I planned…
