Still Learning in the City

I consistently chide my friend Glenn about being late, as much as an hour late, to The Gathering. His reasons, or excuses, range from heavy traffic (he rides a bike and is very cautious) to laundry to NASCAR on TV. Recently his work hours have been cut back due to the Goodyear strike, so he is now on a four day week. And what is he doing with his day off? He's volunteering in PATH's food pantry! Here is a guy who has some mental limitations, gets around on an old bike, and rents a minimal apartment, but feels he has something of value to give to the community, his time! Praise the LORD for servants like Glenn who put me to shame and teach me so much! My values of promptness and consistency may not be the most important ones, especially among my friends like Glenn!
