Bound For Glory!


                       BOUND FOR GLORY!

    Here to take the place of Starbucks☕ the newest addition to my writing inspiration today is Bound For Glory!
 A Christian Bookstore and Cafe. Not a new find, but a new visit, this quaint and quiet coffee shop has everything a passerby is looking for.


Welcoming, the staff range from the hip and mature!

To the vibrant and full of life.
At first "sniff" I noticed the smell of quiche lingering in the air, as locals lined up to pay for their orders, I snuck a pick of the delightful dish.
                                   Yum!

Cheater? Yep!  Nice to look at, Good to taste! And heavey on the waste, with the calorie count and my diet, I decided not to dine!
Menus here include the 7.5 dollar thick burger with 100% Angus beef! Same quality also, is the 7.5 dollar bunless burger! Lettuce wrap? Don't know, but from the smiling faces around me I can tell everything's all good!
This hole in the wall cafe actually has some of the most popular food in Putnam!  A neighborhood gem, and Soho atmosphere, this place reminds me of the "Friends" set!
"Cup of joe?"

Keep the change!
              Charming and necessary!
 The Tip jar gives "Kudos" to the cheff and leaves behind a little thank you for future visits.
Looks like we made it! Wow Trip Advisor!
Free WiFi goes along way in the writing community.
Local meeting spot for Journalists, professionals and religious organizations associated with the Christian faith, we all meet here. Staff members are forth coming and eager to spread info about events and faith based teachings.
Sit for a minute and take in the ambience, melodic music playing in the background, people of all walks and runs in the fore ground, and relaxation on sale. Glad to be here!  Faith, Hope, Love, and Charity! Not to mentiin Grace abound in this establishment.    Nice, with my recent religious experience, I am glad to be here and utilize this positive work environment.
Free wifi, coffee and dessert mixed together with laptop or pen and pad are a writers dream! Fantastic! Perfect for a book club, review, or Authors Meet! Local artist have in the past have held signings here.
                     
                                The Icthus!
I've been here!
Never actually knowing the meaning of this symbol, my son once made this out of my Love Bangles or fake Cartier bracelets, which ever you want to call them!
It touches my heart now finding this symbol and learning the meaning.  Before this, at the time my son, linking the two bracelets together and forming a fish symbol, asked.
" Mom, do you think god is real? Like do you believe in god?"
Taken a back, I immediately answered yes. I could almost hear screeching in the background as Angels falling to earth would make. Serious.. having a hard time at school and being 13 years old just the fact he made that symbol so unknowingly brings tears to my eyes. Christians are with you! Buy him a book or inquire about the meaning was my immediate thought.
Advised by the librarian I found out that in the earlier days of Christ, believers and missionaries of faith would leave behind this symbol so that followers of Christ would know they'd past by on their journey. Marking the way for their return and opening a door to friendly interactions. "Christians dwell here!"

Leave it on the wall!
Faith in people and Hope of a better day.
Say hi to the Chef!
After a long day of writing it feels good to be offered a bite to eat!
Compliments of the Chef!
