First of all, I’m sorry it’s been so long since I posted something here. I don’t know to whom I’m apologizing, since I don’t know why anyone would continue to check this site when I never update it…but I’ll work on that.
Anyway, yesterday Your Church magazine posted an article I wrote for them a few months ago, “Weighing Fair-Trade Coffee.”
It was an interesting article to write, because I learned a lot about where coffee comes from, how it gets from “bean to cup” (to steal a phrase from Michael Trent, one of the people I interviewed for the piece), and how some organizations use fair-trade coffee to assist communities where their coffee is grown (like Land of a Thousand Hills does in Rwanda).
It was interesting stuff. Maybe you won’t think so, but I do. So there.
Anyway, if you’re interested, check it out.
Hopefully there will be more here soon. Although I admit, much of my blogging attention is being consumed by my Lost blog (if you’re a Lost fan and you haven’t been there yet, come on over and share some thoughts: http://tylerslostblog.wordpress.com/).
With less than a month until the series finale, I should find myself with more time to devote to this blog soon.
