Coffee with Jonna

Good morning,
I pray the day finds you well.

We held our very first "Coffee with Jonna" yesterday!

"Coffee with Jonna" is a virtual coffee time with Jonna who is a volunteer chaplain at our YMCA. Before we talk about "Coffee with Jonna" it was brought to my attention that I made a booboo the other day. I must address this before I continue.

I haven't fact checked this yet, I will leave this to MSNBC, but evidently I only had 14 "v's" in one of the times that I spelled Trevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvor in my last post. For this I must apologize.

As I look at my CEO's mythical name (remember this is not his real name, but every story is much better with a name attached) and as I say his mythical name in my head "Trevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvor", it has this doppler effect. You know what I mean. It is like when a train goes by and goes:
Choooo-choooo
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Since I am in charge of mythical names in the Daily Bread for Ragamuffins I think I shall make his full name Trevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvor Doppler Effect Left (Anyone who actually knows our CEO's real name will get the funny in all of this nonsense).

Back to "Coffee with Jonna".

Jonna is this truly amazing gem of a person. She has this unique way of really connecting with people and this God given talent of making them feel better, and actually seen and heard.

Jonna is a gift from God, our YMCA is extremely blessed to have her.

If your "Y" has a Jonna, you know what I mean. If it doesn't, go find a Jonna and you will.

"Coffee with Jonna" is like a talk show, except the audience gets to talk too; what a cool idea. Jonna's first guest was "Liz" (Not her real name...) Liz was a fantastic choice for Jonna's first guest. They played off each other like to sisters in a pod, or is that to peas in a family? not sure if I am mixing metaphors or not. I am pretty sure I am mixing something.

Everyone had a wonderful time with "Coffee with Jonna".

You can tune into "Coffee with Jonna" every Monday and Wednesday at 2pm PST.

Just go to: https://www.ymcacw.org/locations/clark-county-family-ymca and go through the virtual check-n process and then find "Coffee with Jonna" in the virtual workout section. As a matter of fact you can find activities for you and your kids in this section too. Everything from workouts for you to Y-time activities for the kids.

Living life can be hard.
Let's live it together and help one another.

Jesus prayed this prayer once:

20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me. (John 17:20-23)

Funny thing is the YMCA was birthed on this prayer back in 1844.

"Coffee with Jonna" embodies this prayer. Well done Jonna.

Let us be together.
Let us live in unity.

See You at the next "Coffee with Jonna".

Blessings,
Roger
