Drinking Mocha Lattes Will Get You Into Heaven

In the month since we've moved here, we've had guests over at least eight times. Honestly, I lost count. On a few different occasions, we entertained one set of guests in the afternoon and a different set at night. As you can imagine, all these guests make unpacking a breeze. (That's code for: I'm still not unpacked, but I've done an amazing job stuffing all my unpacked boxes in my garage so that no one sees my shame.) So when CeCe (that's the friend I'm trying to marry off to Trent Edwards) called and asked if she could come by, I said, "I would love it if you came by. How do you feel about helping me unpack my garage?" And she was all, "That sounds rockin', but how about we go out for coffee instead?"

"Out for coffee?" I said. "Is that like when you leave the house without kids and a husband and sit with a girlfriend in a public place and talk about fingernail polish and puppies?"

"Why, yes, yes it is." she replied.

While I was still a little shaky on what this "going out with friends" thing was about, it did sound familiar so I changed into my good sweats and flip flops and grabbed my Prada knock-off purse for this adventure.

Being the wild party girls we are -- you know, the kind you don't take home to mama -- CeCe and I then drove a whole five minutes to the local Dunkin Donuts. You know it's a crazy girls night out when there's caffeine involved. Now, I've made no secret of my love for Dunkin Donuts Iced Mocha Latte Lite. If you recall, I expressed my love in letter form once upon a time. My crazy knows no bounds. In my defense, I was probably high on caffeine at the time. This trip to DD was different then trips in the past because as I guzzled sipped my latte, I saw proof that Dunkin Donuts cares about your soul.

Dunkin Donuts produces "How Do You Take It?" tracks. Are you familiar with the concept of tracks? They are the little paper pamphlets you get from someone who is trying to tell you about Jesus. They are usually full of information on what Jesus has done for us and how we can get to heaven. The DD track is full of information on the variety of coffees that they carry. I briefly considered taking a handful and going door to door in my new community asking people if they knew Iced Mocha Latte. It's a shame my garage is such a mess. If only I had more time, I could have changed people lives for the better.
