Double Mocha Jesus with Two Pumps of Holy Spirit

This morning, feeling like I needed a cup of coffee, I decided to make some (usually I get it at work). I love to cook and not only do I love to cook but I'm really good at it, but making a cup of coffee for me is like a 5 year old attempting to do brain surgery.
