Or, I could talk about the Christian culture's kind of embarassing habit of creating Christianized knock-offs of successful endeavors in the greater society. The whole coffee-house thing is working pretty well for Starbucks and other smaller coffee outfits, so it's only a matter of time before we claim this business for the Lord.
Stephen and I were at the Java Hut the other day trying to come up with clever names for a Christian coffee house. We came up with some ideas, and now I'd like to get some of yours. Groaners are welcome (I will set the example). This is not a contest, because it is too stressful for me to choose winners. So add some ideas, and we'll all be winners!
*Holy Grounds
(Stephen says you could invite people to remove their shoes as they entered)
*WWJD: What Would Jesus Drink?
*JavaJesus
*BGCT: Best Ground Coffee in Town
*StarBYX
(Christian fraternity coffee...complete with knock-off logo)
*Focus on the Frappe
*The Joe of the Lord is My Strength
Okay. You guys are marketing experts, teachers, theologians...I have great expectations!

Ha, hilarious! I'll put my marketing brain to work and think of some to add later.
By the way, there used to be a coffee shop in town called Higher Grounds. They didn't call themselves a Christian coffee shop, but they sold lots of gifts and cards with verses on them, and hosted Christian bands and church youth groups.
What a Mighty Cup We Serve
The Collection Plate (where your tips are tithed!)
ACTS (Always Coffee To Sip)
Some drinks for the menu: Baptist Brew, Pentecostal Percolator, Catholic Cappuccino, Methodist Machiatto, Lutheran Latte, Non-Denominational Decaf
OK, I know, I'm stretching it. It's past my bedtime!
Oh, and House of Prayer House Blend!
I've failed! I can't come up with a single Christian Coffee place name!! Woe is me! I don't deserve the title Graphic Designer!!
Although...if someone ELSE came up with a name, I could make it a great logo! :)
My favorite was The Joe of the Lord is My Strength. That one was really funny.
Hmm... what about Laodicea, Where the Coffee and the Conversation are Anything but Lukewarm!
Or The Rapture, Coffee That's Out of This World.
I guess those kind of names really only work with their taglines. Can you tell I'm in advertising?
We need a new post! Every day I come back, and every day I'm pressured to think of a coffee place name. And I CAN'T!!! I ALREADY TOLD YOU!! I'M A FAILURE!!!
So please write a new post so I can avoid the daily reminder....
Lydia, Lindsey is out of town, but I'm sure she has loads to blog about when she gets back. (I've missed her posts, too. And her comments!)
I thought of another one: Chi Chai
