I Hate Lukewarm Coffee

I Hate Lukewarm Coffee

I hate lukewarm coffee. As a matter of fact, if my coffee starts to get close to room temperature while I’m reading my Bible or whatever, I’ll go and pour it out. I only like my coffee hot or cold because it tastes awful at room temperature. Actually, I have to hold...

Breaking Up With Ambition

Breaking Up With Ambition
