I would like to request prayer for a small Indianapolis community church called Midtown Vineyard - new leadership is coming in, and leaders of organizations can always use prayer, since in many cases secular leaders don't listen to anyone not throwing a lightening bolt at them.

Do you automatically use a lid for fast food drinks? Why? If you are taking a refill on the road, it makes sense, but at least wait until you are leaving to pick it up - unless you are worried about spilling or something.

A case can be made for straws, since someone may have touched the cup before you (usually the employee giving it to you). I choose to take that risk sometimes.

Seems a small thing, but think of the landfill consequenses.
