The Other Line Always Moves Faster

Ate at McDonald's today. In my quest to place my order ASAP, I deftly weaved back and forth between the lunchtime lines, picking my spots and seizing openings. However, it didn't seem like I was gaining any ground.

Finally, people cleared out and I realized: I was the only person still in line. Everybody else, including people who arrived after me, had placed their orders and left.

That, my friends, is the very definition of servanthood.

About Me

Steve DennieCareer-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
I write primarily for my own amusement. If anyone wants to eavesdrop, they're welcome to it. My heartbeat is serving God faithfully through the local church. But my posts repeatedly stray into sports, politics, movies, and other nonsense.
I've been blogging since 2004, and it's been fun. Please understand that, though I work for the United Brethren in Christ denomination, the nonsense I spew out here comes from my own semi-functional brain in a totally personal, non-official capacity. Yes, that's a disclaimer.

To leave comments, I suggest using OpenID. You can use it not only here, but on tens of thousands of other sites.
With OpenID, you need to remember just one username. Sweet. It's free and simple.
You can get an OpenID identity from many places, but I recommend these three: MyID.net, Signon.com, and MyOpenID.com.
But you may already have an OpenID and not know it. Let me tell you about it.
