Looking forward to the Journey...

We are so excited about our association with Quest Coffee Shop in Davie County (formerly Moby’s Coffee and before that, Dairy Queen).

First, I have a confession to make: I didn’t go to their coffee shop when they first opened because I was mad that there was not a DQ anymore, but I soon found out I was missing out on something even better than a chocolate dipped ice cream cone!
After came to my senses, we went there for a staff luncheon one day and fell in love with the atmosphere and comfortable surroundings. Since we have been going there we have gotten to know one of the owners, Allyson Sawtelle, her son Nolan (yes, another Nolan!) and some of the other staff members there. They all seem to love their job and are very friendly.
We will soon begin designing their coffee shop with photographic art and our new line of PoetryArt featuring poetry from Comfort Ahead by Jeff Messick, a local Christian poet. This is an exciting opportunity for us and we will keep you updated on the progress.
Among the many events they have at Quest (such as musical performances by praise bands), is a tea every Monday at 3 PM, complete with white tablecloths, fresh flowers, specialty teas and delicious edibles. Even more important is just a chance to fellowship and refresh your spirit among friends. Normally it is $5 per person, but Anne Grant Photography will soon be hosting our first tea at Quest and want to invite you to join us as our honored guest. We will let you know the date as soon as as we have it finalized, but meanwhile, go by and have a cup of coffee and they’ll throw in a free smile! See you at Quest!

Comfort Ahead

Whether you are in feeling alone, needing comfort or just want to refresh your spirit, you will want to read Comfort Ahead, a book written by a local Christian poet, Jeff Messick.

Although I have known Jeff's sister for many years, I only met Jeff last month. However, it seems like we have been friends for a lifetime...he and his wife Janine are the sweetest, most sincere people you would ever want to meet. They live in Lewisville and even though Jeff is a Stone Mason by trade, he says these poems have been given to him by the Lord during situations that he has encountered with friends or sometimes just mere aquaintances. His story is one that you will want to hear as he weaves the tapestry of the poems with the lives of the people for whom they were written.

We have been truly inspired by his work and are creating a line of Poetry Art & Art Cards- blending photography, art design, poetry, scripture and sometimes portraits. Jeff is available for speaking engagements and poetry readings. We are looking forward to watching God work through Jeff's poems and the message of comfort it will bring. See his website for more information http://www.comfortahead.com/ . Check back often as we will have more items to show in the near future.
