overqualified

^{From the book of Exodus :
1} Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. Exodus 3:1

I find it quite compelling that Moses, after 40 years of growing up as royalty and being groomed for a possible shot at the throne in Egypt, takes off to the desert. (see the previous chapters for the whole story, it's fantastic). Anyhow, he spends another 40 years in the desert as a shepard working for his father-in-law. Talk about over qualified.

What struck me as compelling was how much time I spent complaining about how I should have a more important role at my restaurant, how I deserved to be more than my position. I see what Moses did, I can only assume without complaint.

We need to work for God wherever He has us right now, and do it with joy until He tells us to do something else. I shall try to remember this in the future.

friday night boys night

Going to be hanging out with the dudes tonight. Should be a good time, we're going to do some good ol' fashioned book study (which book? you ask..the bible of course) and then playing some games. Not sure which ones yet, thinking Rockband may make an appearance, and maybe some settlers of catan. Followed up with Parcheesie?

If you would like to follow along what we will be discussing-read ephesians chapter 5:22-30 and proverbs 12:4.

Oh, and did I mention that I shaved some of my beard and now have the biggest set of Mutton Chops this side of Pennsylvania?

fully functioning again

I said last post that I would tell you all about the "date night" adventure if I was able to regain mental capabilities. It took a day or three, but I have returned to previously available functioning. As told, here's the lowdown on date night.

We offered a two for one deal on all appetizers and entree's last wednesday night, beginning at 4pm. We expected to see a night similar to a Friday, where we filled up once, turned over the restaurant and then died off.
What nobody expected was the 50 people waiting at the front door at 345pm. Nor did we expect to be on a wait for the next 6 hours, which I imagine would have continued on through the night if we didn't lock the doors 15 minutes past closing time.
Over 600 entree's were served from 4pm til 11pm. Without any break in the action. It was absolutely the most intense night I have ever had. Busier even than Mother's day, which is far more controlled. This was a free for all, and the fact that everyone survived, noone walked out, nobody was injured (physically, maybe mentally though) is amazing.

I am now in the process of concealing all memories of that night in a well protected box in my mind, surrounded by a 1 foot thick retaining wall which they shall never come out of again.

no post today

Too much sunshine today to post anything right now.

I can tell you that I am expecting the sun to recharge my brain back to it's proper functioning capabilities after the Epic "date night" at work Wednesday night.

If it does recharge my former intellect, I shall tell you all about it.
