Chock Full of Nuts

I am not a coffee maker.  I come from a long line of non-coffee drinkers and I don’t drink it myself.  I made the coffee for my home group once and was asked not to do it again.  This is when I realized my service talents must lay elsewhere, and they do.  I am a good sponsor for those who want what I have or at least want to attempt what I am trying to get toward.  I am a good representative.  I can carry the wishes of my group to the district.  I am learning to share my story and carry the message and hope to do it well.  So, my question to you is, to what service do you most naturally bend?

Save a key from your past

PASTRY

Like French pastry--sobriety gets richer with each layer

As I investigate these layers I approach the buttery center

The fat seeps through the years

Making boundaries crisp and intimacy velvety.

Ingredients which ordinarily wouldn’t mix

Somehow blend and counter point one another in a flaky shell

Fruits and nuts improve every bite.

Though there are times which are a bit crumbly

Most of the structure is strong and invention skillful

Pastry and sobriety are compositions of strength and brilliance

Which are meant to be taken internally.
