talk is cheap

kind of crazy that Jesus worked construction. it's difficult to imagine Jesus having to use the portajohn. righteously avoiding eye contact with the pornographic graffiti. waiting in line for the microwave. safety meeting with group stretch on tuesdays. do you suppose Jesus picked up a lot of overtime? Jesus in a safety vest. Jesus in a company t-shirt

dying twice and then having to work at the doublemeat palace. getting yeeted against your will into outer space and becoming a space pirate and then you make it back home and no one remembers you and you have to work at taco whiz. it really does feel like that sometimes

tour guides tell everyone things like "you were an excellent group, so intelligent, great questions, so engaged, what fun, best group of the week" but it still feels great every time haha

in dysfunctional environments people relish obstacles. not as opportunities to learn or advance but as excuses not to. resist!
