A couple of months ago, two days before Thanksgiving, our family was in Kansas City visiting Juli's brother and sister. As is my habit, I found a cafe to enjoy a warm cup of coffee and do some devotional and personal reading. I enjoy reading, studying, and working in public places because it gives you a window into the lives of others. I chose a Panera Bread cafe for our two days in Overland Park, and one morning this is what I observed.
Watching YouTube at a Panera
The old man sits alone in a corner of a Panera Bread cafe,
Watching YouTube videos loud enough for all to hear.
A gospel song by Elvis,
And then something that sounds like the TV show, "Cops".
It's as if the wonderful world of YouTube - in all its awesomeness - all its banal glory - has suddenly opened up before this senior citizen in Overland Park.
On a cloudy, wet, and windy day - the day before Thanksgiving.
He has much for which to be thankful.
Much for which to be thankful, indeed. - Shay
