Award-winning writer Holley Gerth God's Heart For You will be at the party too!) CLICK HERE TO RSVP PLUS
I held my breath.
Clicked publish.
Waited.
Is anybody out there?
It kinda felt like I was writing a message in a bottle. As I floated my words out into the blogosphere those first weeks I created Faith Barista many moons ago, I wondered if anyone would answer.
Someone actually found my bobbing post in the sea of blogs and stopped long enough to read it. Not only that, he was kind enough to stop and say hello. This someone hangs his hat in another part of the country I had never traveled to.
Critically-acclaimed Snow Day author Billy Coffey lives in the foothills of Virgnia’s Blue Ridge Mountains with his wife Joanne and two kids. And somehow, Billy dropped by for a visit on the blog and became one of the first three commenters on Faith Barista.
Even though I’ve never sat on a porch to shoot the breeze down South (which this West Coast girl would love to do!), I’ve found a comfy spot always waiting for me in the stories Billy tells. He’s the kind of guy who’s like a brother, always pulling your leg, making you laugh at the most peculiar everyday things. But, what’s special about these stories is how he lets you in on the beauty he finds in people and the world. That’s because Billy’s faith in Jesus gifts him with the ability to look deep where it may be dark and see further to where there’s meaning and lasting purpose.
With a small act of faith, I have floated my words here on the blog. And with friends like you and Billy, I’ve been blessed and encouraged to keep writing those messages and hitting publish to send them out.
I still wait. And yes, there are days I still wonder. And that’s when God steps in to send me gifts through you being here.
Which reminds me of some words Billy has to share with us about faith. He’s going to take us on a walk now.
Yes, I hear the screen door opening, the Faith Barista cafe windchimes jingling…
Hey Billy! How’s it going?
Thanks for swinging by for the blog anniversary. Really appreciate it.
Yep. We’re all here. Ready to go…

“The Penny Man” by Billy Coffey
Walk with me for a moment. Won’t take long, I promise. I just want to show you something.
This street here? Leads to downtown. I’m not really a downtown sort of guy. For the past few months I’ve taken my workday lunch at the coffee shop just ahead. That one, with the steaming cup of cappuccino painted on the window and the tables outside.
We’ll take a table. I know it’s hot out here, but you’ll be better able to see what I’m going to show you. And the iced coffee will keep you cool. My treat. In the words of the Penny Man, “It don’t suck.”
All these cars and people? Never seen them before. That’s the way it is in the city, right? So much randomness. But mingling around all those people are some I see each time I come here.
That little lady in the pink shorts walking her toy poodle? Every day like clock-work. And that something-year-old skateboarder looking fashionably apathetic by the lamppost in front of the antique store? He’s hung out there every day for the past four weeks. See? We all have our own routines and live in our own little worlds, but they overlap sometimes. We’re not as disconnected from one another as we think.
And then there is the Penny Man. See him? No, on the other side of the street. Nice-looking guy in the suit. Yep. Comes through about this time every day. Not sure what he does for a living. Probably a lawyer or something, since the courthouse is right around the corner there. He’s why I asked you to walk down here with me. He’s what I want to show you.
Why is he the Penny Man? Don’t get ahead of me. You’ll see, just watch him. There, see that? Missed it? Don’t worry. I don’t know how many times I watched him and missed it, too. He’s good, really good. See how his hand’s in his front pocket? Now wait.
There it is.
See how he did that? Just slipped his hand out of his pocket as cool as he can be and dropped that penny. The lady passing him by didn’t even notice, even though she was looking right at him. But we see faces when we pass people, don’t we? We never think to look at hands.
Watch. There goes another one, smooth as silk. He’ll drop another when he gets in front of the flower shop. He likes to leave them there.
Nope, don’t know why.
He’ll cross the street up by the stoplight and stop here for his iced coffee, then he’ll go back on this side and drop three more pennies. That’s six in all. The Penny Man always leaves six.
No, I don’t know why.
Oh. You didn’t mean why does he drop six pennies, but why does he drop pennies at all? Good question. I wondered that myself for the longest time. I was going to ask him one day, but he was in a hurry. He grabbed his iced coffee and turned around, and just when I was about to say something, he raised his cup and said, “It don’t suck.” Then he left.
But I figured it out. Sit here with me and look across the street.
See all those people, how they’re walking? Sort of hunched over, like they’re all carrying a weight. Heads down because they’re tired. Seems like we’re all tired now. These are tough times for everyone. We’re all tired from the weight we carry.
But watch that young woman over there in the white skirt, right in front of the flower shop.
See what she just did? She found a penny.
And more than that, it’s a heads-up penny. (All of them are, I’ve checked; and no, I have no idea how the Penny Man manages to drop them that way). And now she’s remembering that great Truth we all know—a heads-up penny means good things on the horizon.
See her putting that penny in her pocket? And now she’s smiling, really smiling. Not like before.
That’s why the Penny Man does this each day.
Just a small act—one cent—that’s worth so much more. For the faith we all need isn’t always found in ourselves. Sometimes it’s found in the acts we do for others, however small they may be.
We are all like God’s angels, called to spread His faith. Because these are hard times and we must not be hard people because of it.
We must give hope. We must give love. We must give life.

I LOVE Billy. He is one of my blog-brothers in my little blogosphere. I just rarely have time to visit and read his wonderful stories as much as I would like. I loved his first novel, Snow Day – and look forward to his second release!
To Billy: I often tell you how gifted you are! When I first started reading your stories I thought they were true! I sat here looking at my computer screen with tears rolling down my face. I’m sure you probably giggled when you read my comments, never letting the cat out of the bag that there really wasn’t a little girl on a park bench, or really an old woman ordering from UPS so she could have someone to talk to each day, etc … After a while I finally got it, “Duh … he is sharing stories from that creating mind of his!”
Now I smile when I see others leave you comments, but I don’t spoil their fun by saying anything either … I just move right along.
Ok, I’ll be careful not to let the flies in when I open the screen door. Gotta run! Wow, the wind is really blowing — those chimes sound so relaxing! Get outta here cat — dang cat is always trying to come in! (Sounds like I’ve got some Billy rubbin’ off on me.)
Happy Faith Jam!
Beth
Beth, you’ve got some stories in you, too! LOL. 🙂
Actually Beth, the girl on the park bench is a true story. Mostly true, anyway. Many of Billy’s stories have at least a kernel of truth to them. Some more than others, but all relay big “T” truth.
Yeah, I just never know with him — so I save myself the embarrassment of assuming ANYTHING. :o)
He is just so talented!
A small act of faith that changed my life???
I wrote on a communication card at church 5 words in January 2008. I was at the end of my rope, bottom of the barrel with no hope in sight. “I have issues” please pray. The church staff reads these requests and picks some to pray for on their own. A woman picked mine. I knew of her from choir but didn’t know her at all. She picked up her phone and called me one day, told me she was praying and would listen if I wanted to talk.
The rest is history! I have about 1700 emails between the 2 of us, countless number of hours spent in phone conversations, meetings with one another and prayer. The best part, I have a friend. A genuine, Christ honoring friend.
I stepped out and wrote a message. She stepped out and called. We were both nervous to do it but God orchestrated it because he knew she was the perfect person to talk to me, she was the person he knew I would trust immediately when I could not trust anyone.
Oh, Lisa! What a beautiful, beautiful story of God’s love, reaching out to you through a such a wonderful friend! It is so hard to take a risk & send out those messages asking for help, but God hears every whisper and every tear. Praise God!
praise God for the power of prayer! although you had the courage to only write 5 words, the Holy Spirit read deep into them and answered the cry of your heart. praise God for your friend’s step in faith to reach out to you, and for the healing power of friendship. He’s so good!!
Thank you for encouraging my need for that heads up penny. Even when things are going great, I still find a small act of faith lifts my heart and becomes part of my arsenal for when things are down.
I enjoyed reading how you both met and how your friendship has come to this place. Thank You so much for sharing every word. Lots of emotions washed through me as I read and I loved every moment of it.
God Bless and thank you for your life-words here today.
Aw. Jeri! You’re just God’s grace to me this morning! I know work has you busy. Thanks taking time to stop by.
What a beautiful post! It reminds me of the concept of “paying it forward”. Little random acts of kindness can make such a difference in a person’s life.
I’m trusting it will be a great reveal when we get to the end of the line and Jesus shows us the behind-the-scenes acts He sees! Thanks for taking time to stop by this a.m. You’re a blessing! 🙂
Oh my goodness – what a great story. I feel like I’ve been sitting at that coffee shop and now it is time for me to get up and start dropping some pennies. Love this lesson.
I’m joining you, Courtney! 😉 So happy we’ve met through the blogosphere!
Thanks for sharing “The Penny Man” with me today. What an inspiring example of how such a small thing can make a big difference in someone’s life. You’ve got me thinking about what I can do, quietly & anonymously, to brighten someone’s day. And it won’t hurt if it also points the way to Jesus… Can’t wait to get my hands on your books. Oh, and happy anniversary!! My husband and I celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary on Monday. It’s always good to take a few moments to savor what the years have brought, both good and bad, because it takes both to shape you into who you are today. Blessings to you, Bonnie and Billy.
Mary, congratulations on your 30 years with your hubby! What a beauty it is to savor so many years together! “…both good and bad, because it takes both to shape you into who you are today.” To hear how daily acts of faith becomes a decades-long love is such an inspiration.
I loved this story! What an encouragement to know that each small act I or someone else does makes a difference to someone. God uses each small step.
Love the title of your post, Kaite — “baby steps of faith”! Can’t wait to head on over to your place.
Lisa – What a wonderful story that was!
If I didn’t know any better, I would think I was really people watchin’ downtown in the heat of the day…I love how the smallest acts of faith can make the biggest differences. The “penny man” has made my day.
🙂 Naw… We’re just shootin’ the breeze.
Twice, someone left a gift on my desk. I work at a church. That means as secretaries we do different things and not always things that are in our job descriptions. The first time it happened I had left my immediate family. That gift lifted my spirits because I had felt the whole world was judging me. The second time it happened, well, I wasn’t going through anything in particular. It was just a common day. Yet, there was a package of Easter peeps on my desk; my favorite easter treat.
In both times, those small acts of faith encouraged me. Those people allowed God to use them without knowing I needed it and God was glorified. :o)
It’s the small things that touch my heart. It may have only taken the person a little time, but it took a loved-dusted heart to notice. So, you’ve got a sweet tooth, huh? 🙂
Very. :oP
What a gift this was to read this morning! Thank you, Billy and Bonnie! Funny thing is, I’m heading out for coffee with my own friend, Faith. I love the story, love the meaning of it, and I don’t think I’ll ever look at a penny on the ground without thinking of it again, either. Love it!
Coffee with *Faith*?! That is TOO COOL, PJ!
Loved this story from Billy Coffey! Thanks so much for sharing! My small act of faith was unconditionally opening myself up to a new soon-to-be inlaw. I don’t often fully open myself up to share face to face ( I’m much better with written word ). But I’m really glad that I trusted God to open up to this one person, because I gained such a wonderful, compassionate friend; who is there to encourage me and pray with me. Thanks again for the reminder, to step out in faith and watch the good that God does with it.
Lisa, you keep stepping out and sharing that lifegiving heart of yours! That is just beautiful. It’s a risk, but we’re doing for HIM — who sees and values each time we drop those pennies. Even if some don’t pick up.
[…] Share and Enjoy: […]
Thank you for the story. It was wonderful! Please enter me in the contest for the book.
Have a Blessed day. Sunny
You got it, Sunny! Great to have you!
I’ve been home full-time this summer for the first time in 6 years. It has been great, but also grueling. Sometimes it’s an act of faith to just reach out and hug a child who has been on my last nerve all day long — to act out a truth that I don’t feel in that moment. I’ve learned that we both need me to do that and it’s amazing how the whole air of our home can change if I draw closer to them instead of pulling away (which is my instinct).
Hey, Joy! We’re living PARALLEL lives this summer! I’ve been home full-time with my 2 boys – 5 year old TJ and 2 year old CJ this summer too! And we are just potty training! Lord, have mercy (literally!) 🙂
This post reminds me that we are often one small act from ruining or making someone’s day. I often think about waiters and waitresses who may be running late with my order because of something tough that happened just before I arrived. You never know. What power God has given us to bless others, but it is also terrible to think that we can do the opposite! May God give us love to spread to others.
I’ll spare the details here, but my post today about small things is about how the mother of a friend changed many lives by having us over for lunch once a month.
Ooh… Can’t wait to head over to your spot at Ed’s! 🙂 (I wonder the stories of waiters’ lives…)

“Because these are hard times and we must not be hard people because of it.”?
Billy, you slay me.
Thanks for having him, Bonnie! Great post.
You’re welcome! 🙂
Billy Coffey’s “The Penny Man” so greatly shares how the smallest random acts of kindness can turn someone else’s world around. Something so small can make such a huge impact. Thanks so much for sharing this beautiful post and reminder.
I hope we all remember to Give Hope, Give Love, Give Life. I know I will.
It’s a beautiful post and reminder. Thanks, Cherie!
Thank you, Cherie.
How very beautiful & touching! I subscribe to Billy’s posts & look so forward to each & every one of them. His wife & children are very fortunate to have him in their lives.
So great to have you here this morning, Ruthie!
Loved the POV on this one, Billy. Just when I think I know your writing style, you surprise me with something new. Thanks for inviting Billy to Faith Barista today, Bonnie. Happy Blog Anniversary!
It’s GREAT to have you hear, Kathy! A round of coffee drinks… on the house! Billy’s barista-ing! 😉
I love the penny story. It’s amazing how much our little things can count.
I know it…They can totally change my day! And I love it when it happens. 😉
Loved this post today!
(P.S) Love rural Virginia. I’m originally from MD., lived in Tennessee. Spent A LOT of time driving through VA, straight up 81.
Hey Dawn! Congrats on being last week’s winner, girl! 🙂 I would love to see VA… Only know VA through it’s lovely people and of course John Denver’s song .. “Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge mountains, Shenodoah River…”
Dawn – I drive 81 every morning to work. You’re right, I’m blessed to live in such a beautiful place.
I began reading Billy’s blog and thoroughly his sojourns through every day faith a few months ago. Today’s post is a treat. It invites us to inhabit the moment … notice every little thing. I would venture that very few people would notice the Penny Man most days, including me. Thanks for the reminder that routine and actually LIVING in our moments unveils delightful revelations and adventures. Thanks for hosting Billy, Faith Barista! Blessings!
I want to be like the “Penny man”. Thanks Billy. You always make me smile.
So much to love here! Billy, you are a gift, sir. Wishing you a bucket load of pennies. And you, too, Bonnie.
Smiling.
Jeanne
I’ve been out of touch with the blogosphere for a good while, but I do try to check in every now and again when I see a reminder on Facebook. I’m so glad I came over here today, because I needed that penny reminder to keep my chin up. Thanks, Billy!
I’m looking forward to Paper Angels coming out…so here’s my comment, I shared this post on Fb (for other friends also in need of a lift lately), and I’m a follower of Faith Barista. 🙂 Thanks so much, Bonnie! *hugs*
Great to see you, Rebecca!
how delightful! it reminds me that since we moved here (18 months ago) that there’s a variety of pennies on my driveway…i have no idea who put them there, or why they are there, or why i’ve not picked them up (or anyone else!). hmmm. maybe today is the day to clean up that money mess? i don’t believe that His blessings need a coin to orchestrate it, but i guarantee i’ll smile each time i find one to pick up…much like falling stars, pennies will be a new favorite thing to look for…
That’s so cool, Marina. Yes, go pick up those pennies.
What a beautiful Story! I would love to win Billy’s book.
Hey, did you get a chance to work on it yet?
oops sorry Bonnie, wrong message! I meant to say this:
Thanks Billy and Bonnie! This blessed me this morning.
Finding pennies often reminds me of two things: “Pennies from Heaven” and the words “In God We Trust”. For me it is like getting tiny messages from Dad, just those little things that can capture our hearts in unexpected ways. Like our Dad saying “Trust me” and “I love you.”
Wow. I really loved this post today, Billy. It was beautiful and really got me thinking about the deliberate way we are called to live and love. Thanks for that.
and yes i will take the opportunity to win Billy’s book as I am already a subscriber!
and honestly, I’d be sharing this on FB even without the contest. My friends will love it. Loved hanging out at the counter with you both today 😉
Another great story, Billy. I love tales of living life on purpose, even if it doesn’t make sense so much to those around, those small things make a huge impact. Thanks for the reminder. And thanks Bonnie for hosting the jam session. 🙂
Billy and Bonnie- you both have a way with words! Billy, you made me feel like I was back in my small hometown of West Virginia. What a great reminder that we can all do small things that make an impact in this world…and that it doesnt take a lot of effort, just a big heart. Imagine the world if everyone would drop pennies in hopes of brightening someones day?
Re: Jean Sheppard comments
Thanks for your well written words about Billy and Bonnie. I know in my heart how I want to write or say but I feel somewhat uncomfortable expressing myself. Your words were right-on target. I am a penny picker upper and if it’s tails always give it to someone to make the wish. I know I’m quite wealthy with all my findings esp the : – )
they have brought me. Small acts of kindness really do make a difference. God’s Blessings ~ Patti
PS I am also from small twn in “Almost Heaven” WV!
LOVE this story, love Billy Coffey (and thank him for showing us all how to get a gravatar). And I thank you, Bonnie, for giving us a shot at his newest book.
Happy Anniversary! Your invitation is one of my favorites each week – and I’m in on the meme today after several weeks away.
Small steps, small acts – well maybe to us. But I think the penny dropper is a big player in the upside down kingdom…and I do hope he (or some version of him!) is real as well as true. Thanks for the story, thanks for the invitation.
I discovered Billy at katdish’s site many Moon’s ago. I enjoy his posts and have always taken them as fact. At least with truth running through them.
I heard of a rich man who always picked up pennies. He said the reason he did this was to show his “respect” for money, while some shamelessly throw money away on trivial things. (Mr. Penny man, I don’t refer to throwing 6 pennies away as frivolous.) We all should begin to throw out at least 6 pennies out there from time to time. Especially when we are around children! They will enjoy the thrill of finding treasure! I heard of someone else who tossed coins in the sand box at the park. Such a random act of kindness.
By the way Amazon is holding my Paper Angel order until the release date. Phooey!
By the way, shared on FB.
So glad to discover Billy Coffey and his blog today through Faith Barista!! God is truly using Billy and Bonnie, too, to do great work for Him and to help share His love with people all over the world! God bless you both!
I stumbled across Billy’s blog not to long ago and have enjoyed it tremendously! Thanks for sharing his writing here too!
Oh how I wished I had stopped this morning and taken the time to read the delightful story of the “Penny Man”. Today, 12 years ago I lost the love of my life, after 32 years of a magical marriage. He always said “I was his Penny from Heaven”, and even bought me a bracelet made with all pennies. I think it is time to get it out, shine it up and start wearing it again. He was just one of the many blessings recieved during my life and I hope as he saves a seat for me in heaven that he sees me as one who continues to help others as he always did and is proud of the traditions his family continues.
Thank you Billy, Bonnie and Faith for helping each of us grow and glow.
That’s a wonderful story, Penny.
Billy’s stories are small acts of faith, writ large. And what a pleasure it is to read them.
It is often the little things in life that give us the biggest boost. God gifts that if we take the time to see our day properly shine out so we can see his heart for us. Thanks for your blog and for todays reminder of this!
I saw a penny on the ground last night…. made me think of this story and I turned it heads up and left it for someone to find. 🙂
Small acts of faith
Praising God in the middle of disaster
Giving my enemy a cup of water
Loving and protecting a wayward child
Returning anger with an answer mild
Saying a simple thankful prayer
Taking the time to stop and stare…
Hi Bonnie – Happy Faith Barista Blog Anniversary!! I am so glad you took the small act of faith to click on ‘publish’ to begin this great faith growing blog. Your encouragement to grow in faith oozes from each post:) Thank you.
Billy, your writing is a magnet for the heart – drawing it in and opening it up. I look forward to reading your books! Keep going…
What a beautiful reminder that when we stop looking up at God, He finds a way to turn our eyes and hearts back again. What great LOVE that is. Billy, your writing is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us. Bonnie, thanks for allowing and emerging writer like me who is still trying to find her voice to join the faith jam. I love meeting everyone I meet here, and that God is always here before I get here. <3 Melinda
LOVE Billy Coffey’s writing, and so happy his link led me to your blog! I’ll be adding you to my blog roll… can’t wait to come back and read more!
Hello Bonnie, I really like your Penny Story, I’ve enjoyed reading it.. Thanks for sharing this..
It’s amazing how small acts can lead to such much happening. Really liked the Penny man’s approach.
Looking forward to spreading faith around me 🙂
Irma’s last blog Ode to beauty; our choice, our happiness
I love reading Billy’s blogs, and look forward to getting that notice in my email that tells me he has a new post.
I did not know about Faith Barista until this post from Billy. I guess I will have another site to follow now, as I love what you have here.
Thanks for the encouragement and this faith-growing site.
I love this! My blog is still very young and I know what you mean about the message in the bottle feeling! You can come chat on this southerns porch anytime 🙂
“Because these are hard times and we must not be hard people because of it.” Yes, yes, yes. Life is hard, but God is good and faithful and just and merciful.
Golly, it seems I am a little late to the party, but I still love Billy’s stories just the same. I’ve been reading his words since he had that black background blog with a profile image from the back. I found him through The High Calling.
Anyway, to answer the question about a small act changing my life… well, there are too many to recount. Each day is drenched in small acts, whether we are the recipients or the givers, we just have to be willing to look for those sidewalk pennies, aye?
Thanks mister Billy, for always speaking plain, talking Truth, and sharing a good tale.
Thanks, miss Bonnie for this piece.
Blessings.
