Grace

Since my brother Sean got serious in his coffee hobby, I haven't been to the coffee shops as often as I used to. I could get the same, even better, kind of coffee at no cost at home. Sean knows coffee growers from Kulaman, Sultan Kudarat and helps these farmers by reselling the beans. (If you're interested, drop me a message; I'll relay it to Sean.) He likes the process of grinding the beans, measuring them by the gram, and experimenting with various methods of coffee-making. 

If I have lunch in malls, I drop by the café chains to stave off sleepiness. I visited Coffee Bean at SM Gensan recently. I got a swirl card so I could access the wifi. The password was Ephesians 2:8. "This is one of my favorite verses," I told the lady behind the counter. 

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

The Hiligaynon word for the day is grásya, which means grace or blessing.

Postscript: I dropped by Coffee Bean at Veranza, the other mall. The wifi password was Romans 8:28.
