Worship and "Alley Cat"

This last Sunday "The 6 Pack" gathered at the local watering hole (okay, our little apartment we meet at) and we discussed chapter 17 of Donald Miller's Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality. It was based on the concept of worship and we discussed how we felt we should approach a discipline of worship as part of our weekly meeting. Ideas were thrown about, and no beer was spilled. We came to the consensus of trying various ideas about from music to lectio divina, to times of silence over a period of a few months. I doubt any one of these things will become the staple of this group but all will surely influence.

Whilst the discussing, and idea throwing, the beer we did not spill was from one of my favorite NorCal microbreweries, Lost Coast Brewery. We Enjoyed their offering of "Alleycat Amber Ale", "A full-flavored amber ale made with roasted caremel malt. Richly colored and medium-bodied, Alleycat is an assertive blend of malts with a sprightly cascade of hops." (Lost Coast Brewery) All this to say, that Alleycat was a very smooth ale, which had definite sweet notes and and a lingering bright aftertaste in my opinion.

Stay Tuned as we venture into the disciplines of worship and the enjoyment of beers!
