Global cooling

For you beer connoisseurs...I give you Schlafly Coffee Stout, brewed in St. Louis, Missouri. A fine beer that will cool the warming of the globe!

It's an Oatmeal Stout and they have added roasted coffee from a locally owned coffee company called Kaldi's. It's expresso brewed using the cold toddy method, whatever that means! To tell the truth, I can't really taste the coffee but I certainly like the flavor of this beer.

Found this at our new "World Market" that just opened up near us. I picked up a few other beers that I have never had but I think are fairly common to most.

Now to baseball stuff. I was suppose to meet the manager last Friday of the new building that I want to lease. Well...it looks like someone at the top of the chain may be having second thoughts on leasing to us. This will really make things difficult. I believe this is a great location, great price, and an almost perfect facility for us. I need a few prayers from you who care about this! We are going to have to move fairly soon and I need a space to go to. It has taken a year to find this one...I probably have at the most, 2 months to build out and be in a new location. Help....!

Hi Mark,
The beer looks, and sounds interesting. There is an Oatmeal Stout made by Samuel Smith out of Yorkshire England and it is very good. I would expect the coffee stout to be similar.
As for the relocation OF NBTA I will be praying that the right location opens up for you.

Thanks Ruth...but I think I'll let the ONE that is higher up than them work things out! I'm fine with whatever happens...If it's time to shut down, He will let it be known! If I am to continue on, He will let me know. I rest in His decision!

I know this has been a great thing for you, my friend. And I feel confident that the blessing you have been to many is a blessing from a source bigger than NBTA and you. I hope that this situation works out, but I have no doubt that whatever lies ahead will be great because you're on the right path.
