In the field of business, one of the most important elements of success is found in excellent customer service. It is within this element that you will find several facets that must be attended to in order to make it excellent customer service. Two such facets are customer engagement and customer relations.

A branch of Christianity promotes and observes a time of "lent". It is a forty-day process that is exercised by certain believers in preparation for Easter Sunday as well as both the restoration of one's spirit and faith with Christ Jesus.  The process consists of forty days and nights (except Sundays) in which an abstinence-sacrifice is made from something one may eat, drink, and/or do. Furthermore, it is believed that the sacrifice made during this time period fulfills a penance regarding one's repentance of identified sins.  Although this practice has been around for many years, many believers within Christianity still do not practice it.

The field of religion and spirituality incorporates several areas of service. These areas are generally referred to as a ministry. A service from a ministry is practiced with a faith-based root and not necessarily limited to a temple nor its congregation; it may be an extension thereof or be an independent entity within society. One such ministry is a personal ministry.

Coffee is a drink that originates from humble agricultural origins. Its origins are attributed to many high-altitude climates around the world; each region has produced diverse flavors of coffee that range from fruity to spicy.  The manner in which coffee has been harvested has remained fairly the same for many years. It has been a systematic process that utilizes skilled workers who know how to observe the changes in the coffee beans as they are gathered, dried, and prepared for roasting. It is after the roasting process that diverse changes in brewing methods have developed across the world. This is my story with coffee.

It has been many months since I last presented a post to my page.  There have been many changes in my life and they have led me to exercise a trust in God unlike I have done so before. Through my trust in Him and guidance from the Holy Spirit, I have ventured into venues that I would have not otherwise dare to enter.

In my life, I have often heard about "righteous" people doing well in life and living with success. Yet I have also heard of people who have strived to live a life of "righteousness" and have found it to be full of challenges and hardship, never quite experiencing "doing well" or "living with success". However, in God's Word, I found chapter 34 from the Book of Psalms, where David is found seeking after the Lord God and crying out to Him about the troubles and affliction he is facing; the Lord God hears him and both saves and delivers from all of them.
 

In Part 1, I wrote about my personal experience of Water Baptism and Baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is my hope that my testimony will encourage others who are considering or in the process of preparing to enter into either or both of the baptisms.  In part 2, I am more academic in my approach and have made a presentation as a brief summary of the role of the Holy Spirit in the believer.

The most commonly known forms of baptism are by water and of the Holy Spirit. Both forms of baptism play an important role in the spiritual development of a born-again believer (Christian) in Christ Jesus. The following is my experience and understanding thereof.

In life, there are moments when circumstances and events begin to escort a person out of a facet of their known life and into a different one.  Sometimes the transition is not what as expected. Furthermore, it can be rough and bring challenges into a person’s life.  Yet, for born-again Christians, this facet of life does not have to be a dreadful moment, they can arise in faith and serve in the areas where God has them at that moment in time.

The Do-It-Yourself (D.I.Y.) movement continues to grow each day.  It has been greatly encouraged and supported by businesses in the field of hardware, remodeling, and decorating.  The number one manner of supporting the D.I.Y. movement has been through workshops. These workshops have helped increase the skills and confidence level of their customers.  Furthermore, these workshops have generated engagement with their customers and increase in revenue of sold products.  This is good for both the customer and business, why not a coffee shop?
