It's eating my lunch!

Lunch is. Not on a daily basis, but every week! I've been trying to figure out the whole issue of providing lunch on a weekly basis for 20 different people with varying likes and dislikes, and dietary requirements. It just isn't easy. It's eating my lunch! Seriously. I feel like I'm spending an inordinate amount of time on this, and not on, well, you know, "presidential" things that might be really important to my Rotary Club, and even to the community.

Food might be a strange thing to blog about, but I am more consumed by it than I am consuming it these days! And, daily, as a Food Pantry manager, I think about it at work. So, should I get contemplative about this whole subject?

Motorcyclists ask if you ride to eat or eat to ride. My daddy used to ask us if we lived to eat, or ate to live. When you think of it that way, it gives a better perspective to the subject. Food isn't what it is all about. Living is what life is all about. Food is sustenance, energy, provision for getting things done in life. (Yes, I know you can still enjoy the food along the way. That's not where I'm going.) It shouldn't be a focus. But, it is. And with 40% of Texas schoolchildren food insecure, it must become a focus for someone. A concern.

I suppose this is bringing me back to one of my favorite Scriptures. One that I wish I would focus on much more often. "Whether then you eat, or drink, or whatever you do; do it all to the glory of God." 1 Cor. 10:31.
