Praying with Coffee

Have you ever been holding a cup of delicious, hot coffee right before a group prayer is about to start? Then the prayer begins and you are still holding it and want to take a sip and feel the warm liquid rush down your throat. But you can't because you are praying? Or can you? Such a conundrum.

Would you take the sip?

Ok, follow me on this. Addiction is a sin, right? So since you're addicted to coffee thats a sin. Ok, lets take this one step further.... not only is it a sin but since it's a temptation and distraction for you during prayer to your heavenly father how much worse is that?

Sheesh Eric.... at least you confess your sin.

Victor is looking at this all wrong. Being a coffee lover is a very heavy burden to carry and holding the cup during prayer is just one way the "addicted/afflicted" can go about laying thier burdens at the feet of the father. Is Victor suggesting you HIDE your stronghold from the Lord?!
However, not even I would have the audacity to drink it while praying=) B
