Today is the first post of a new joint blog. We are excited to try something new, and see where the Lord takes us.
Why Olives & Coffee?
Jim often says that olives are one of the few things we know that Jesus must have eaten while he lived on earth, so if Jesus ate them they must be the food of heaven. They are a quick snack with a definite taste. On the other hand, Lisa can barely stand the smell of olives so they are only allowed in the house in tightly sealed jars.
Lisa’s favorite way to start the day is a great cup of coffee. Coffee is best when it is made slowly, allowing the coffee to “bloom,” and sweetened with sugar and cream. Jim has yet to even allow the liquid to pass over his lips.
As we sought to name this blog, God brought to mind two things that are apt symbols of each of us, yet personify our differences.
Olives & Coffee is our opportunity to share our hearts as we offer additional insights into sermons, post relevant and meaningful quotes from throughout church history, highlight new or significant songs, as well as other things that we find interesting, moving and/or fun.
We also hope this is a way that we can connect with you. We’d love for you to respond or comment on posts. As time permits, we hope this will be an interactive feature of the blog.
Our prayer is that this new blog will help the Calvary Church community strengthen its faith in God as He does more than all we can even ask or imagine.

We look forward to journeying with you,
Jim & Lisa
