Sounds like either a line from “Where’s Waldo” or a local car dealer trying to make the best of a bad location. Jericho does have a tucked away location that is easy to spot… sort-of, across from the Safeway at Douglas and Sierra College, and your first visit is a little tricky to find the right drive-way, and we’re a bit above street level so you might miss us if you’re flying by on your way to work… but, once you find us, the rewards will be well worth the search. Comfy, warm, friendly, exceptional espresso and coffee drinks, a variety of pastries, lunch items to keep you coming back for more. And, if you need a gift, card, or book, well… while you’re enjoying the fare just wander and see what treasures are available for your special giving or your own self indulgence.
So, now with the move to our new website, Sheri and I will work on keeping you up to date through our front page news! Jericho news and other community events of interest. MOSTLY coffee, music, and books… our favorite past-times… but don’t be surprised if you find those personal prayer requests and pleas for local support where needed listed here as well.
The entire Jericho Team wish all a safe and blessed Thanksgiving and upcoming Christmas season and we look forward to serving you ALL during this joyful time of year.

Jericho has several new ‘sipping vessels’ in stock. Our newest to the lineup is an Offero mug and is getting rave reviews. Offero means to bring forth or present before and this unique mug does just that. It has a unique shape that allows the ‘nose’ of your beverage to come forth and give you the total aroma therapy needed to get your day started or ended for that matter. Come in today and pick up one for yourself and a few extras for a unique and special gift. This is the perfect gift paired with a pound of our Fox Hollow micro roasted beans.
from Kim Knifong:
“What CANCER cannot do: Cancer is so limited. It cannot cripple love, it cannot alter hope. It cannot corrode faith, it cannot destroy peace, it cannot kill friendship, it cannot suppress memories, it cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul. It cannot steal eternal life, it cannot conquer the spirit.”
Thanks Kim!
Everyone… be sure to stop by Saturday, March 20th. Event Link…

Are we depressed yet? It is difficult to stay positive with all the political shuffling, economic turmoil, h1n1, busted governments, health-care issues, layoffs, downsizing, re-sizing, bankruptcies, foreclosures, furloughs, and people flaming other people. It’s a wonder that God hasn’t decided to shake the board, wipe the etch-a-sketch clean and start over. But lucky for us, we have a God that is bigger than the biggest bail-out. He holds the key. In fact He holds all the keys and we just need to grab hold and not let go. His keys, His grace, His faith in us will spill into our hearts and allow us to SEE what we need to do to get out of this mess. We can’t do it by letting others fix it for us. We need to let God work through us and to use us to get the job done. If we don’t, our natural inclination – do nothing and wait it out – will have us spiraling down into a mire of further discontent and government controlled lives.
We, at the individual, corporate, and government levels, need to be accountable for our mistakes, take on the natural consequences of our actions, and start again. This time with a little less greed and a little more (much more) compassion and generosity for others.
It is never to late to turnaround, shake it up, and start again!
So what’s the difficulty in doing a blog… ideas, time, “talent” (of which I have very little), something significant to say, and even if there is something that is even mediocre worth chatting about, will anybody listen!
So one idea is to just ask for ideas!!! So, if you have a topic that others would be interested in exchanging, pass them along. I’m posting this under, what I hope will be an “open” forum. I’ll do my best to filter spam-ish type posts but be patient if you see something that is of the typical web-garbage variety.
On another note… Sheri & I did get to hear W. Paul Young, aurhor of “The Shack“, this past Sunday (1/25). Excellent speaker! Highly recommend the book to everyone.

Yes… be Christ to the masses! This is definitly the time of year for high stress, too much focus on “stuff” and not enough reflection on the why… and maybe the how of what we need to be as Christians. I’m just as guilty so I’ll be working on this as well.
It’s not easy to put behind our selfish thoughts and desires to want more… of just about anything. But for sure, this current “Grinch” of an economy really makes you appreciate what we do have. So how can we be more “Christ” like during this time of year as we celebrate the reason? Your comments welcome please…
One suggestion is to take on an attitude of “The Advocate”. Be that “spirit” for someone else. Help lift their day. Try to find a way to bring joy to “one”, to a family, your neighbor, or to the world. Be an advocate for someone in need. Or a group of someones! Oh, and by the way, this probably should be throughout the year and not just at Christmas.
God Bless us Everyone!
So, I finished Don Miller’s book “Blue Like Jazz” in less than a week. If you haven’t read BLJ yet, I highly recommend it… especially if your a guy who has struggled with his faith… or a women who wants to delve into some of the stuff guys go through in coming to grips with who and what GOD is all about.
As I think about all the struggles that businesses, both big and small, are going through during these challenging economic times, I’m reminded of the story “Pushing the Boulder“. What is this preparing us for? Where do we go from here? Do we have the strength to keep pushing and… is that what we are suppose to be doing? Much of life seems be facing various challenges and how we react to those challenges. Births, deaths, illness, financial difficulties, and the challenges of the joys in life as well. Do we react well to our joys?! Do we give thanks to the one who has provided us sooo much! Both challenges and joys build strength and character and teach us to find the higher road and keep our heads when everyone else is in panic mode or too immersed to the situation.
We all will get through this… but it might not look like we expected when we get to the other side. But whatever lies ahead, it will be better, or make us better for the experience.
Just a few musings this Friday morning that I thought I’d pass along.
God’s Peace

PS: Happy Birthday to my most awesome wife! Love you Sheri xoxoxo
I have taken on a mission to collect hats, gloves and socks for the homeless during this holiday season. I would love for you all to help in bringing these items as well as any coats or sweatshirts that you are no longer using in to Jericho Coffee. What a blessing you will be to our brothers and sisters in Christ that are currently cold and hurting. We are open from 6:00AM-9:00PM M-F and on the weekend, Sat. 7:00AM-9:00PM, Sun. 7:30AM-3:30PM.
Thank you so much and God Bless!!!
