Father Daniel Mary has a set clear vision for the direction of the Carmelite Monks. His plans include growth and expansion in productivity, business development, and spirituality. Father Mary has a set goal, and strongly believes he will achieve that goal. His vision for the monastery includes relocating, and creating a new Mount Carmel in the Rocky Mountains. His plan includes transforming 13 monks living in a small home, to 30 monks living on a 500-acre monastery. Father Mary’s vision also includes a Gothic church, a convent for Carmelite nun, a retreat center for lay visitors, and a hermitage. Father Mary plans to move to a nearby ranch, with a retail price of $8.9 million dollars.
Father Mary’s vision for Mystic Monk Coffee includes the purchase of a new coffee roaster valued at $35,000. Their current coffee maker has a limited production of 540 pounds of coffee per day. The new coffee roaster has the capabilities of producing 130 pounds of coffee per hour, producing 780 pounds of coffee. The new coffee maker would increase production by 44%.

Katharine once said, “Christ wishes the Christian Community to be a body that is perfect because we work together towards a single end, and the higher the motive which actuates this collaboration the higher, no doubt, will be the union. Now the end in question is supremely exalted: the continuous sanctification of the Body for the glory of God and the Lamb that was slain.” (A-Z Quotes). This quote describes Katharine’s way of working towards creating her orphanages and schools with her order. Despite overcoming many difficulties in her earlier life, Saint Katharine Drexel created her own religious order, donated generously to charities, and established schools to teach the faith the others; consequently, she is one of the most dynamic missionary saints from America.
The future direction Father Daniel Mary has established for the Carmelite Monks of Wyoming is to expand function by procurring a 500 acre property that will become the new Mount Carmel. This property would be utilized to create a monestary, equipped to house 30 monks, a Gothic church, a covent for Carmelite nuns, a retreat for lay visitors and a hermitage. Father Daniel's vision is to expand the monastery by purchasing the Irma Lake ranch for the list price of $8.9 million. From his calculations you can determine that he has $250,000 (donated), and is forecasted to earn nearly $75,000 from Mystic Monk Coffee (MMC). There is also an unforseeable amount of donations that will be incomming from the
I sat down at my kitchen table with Michael Bruxvoort, a friend and fellow Tar Heel at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on October 25th, 2015. We laughed and talked about his journey through life and all the memories, obstacles and pleasures along the way. Among the many topics we spoke about, the ones that seemed most relevant to him and myself were: the family dynamics of religion within his household, his process of religion through secular spaces and lastly, his transition to Chapel Hill, NC and making it his home. Our conversation through Michael 's life shows how his faith has shaped him to be the man he is today. Through this paper, I will explain and analyze these topics in hopes of better understanding geographies of religion.

Imaging if there was no more coffee in this world, how would you feel? Nowadays, coffee becomes an important part of people’s life.

First of all, Coffee-Mate´s main benefit is its ability to replace cream or real milk. Furthermore, it can be stored for a much longer time than milk or cream making it a good substitute.
