This is a coffee shop in the little town of Clearfield, PA.  I was traveling across the state of Pennsylvania with another preacher and a missionary (there goes my diet) heading to a preacher's meeting in Harmony, PA (again ... the diet) and then on to Michigan for more preaching (Oh boy!).  And somewhere halfway across we decided that we needing some coffee.  At the next exit we sighted a Dunkin Donuts, which in an emergency, would provide a suitable amount of caffeine laden refreshment.  Our missionary navigator, with the aid of his iPad spotted this coffee shop in a nearby town, and because of the interesting name, we decided to check it out.  May I say, it was worth the little extra drive!

There are times that we need to travel just a little bit further to get something far superior to what we may have normally just settled for.  Just a little farther in your Bible, in comparing spiritual things with spiritual things.  Just a little longer in prayer, holding onto God and asking for a blessing.  Just around one more corning in enduring a hardship, some suffering, a struggle in anticipation that the light will stream through and the way of escape will become evident.  Why settle on mediocre when spectacular is just around the corner?
