Cracker Barrel, the new job and the new mission field


Cracker Barrel is a old southern restrant. Three months ago I found a job bussing tables and washing dishes there. This is a great job and I am juggling the community college and the dish washing job just fine. We stay busy with dishes coming, bussing tables, and cleaning the building. The job offers great P.T. such as lifting cup racks, delivering dishes to and from the wash room, and doing the garbage runs to the dumpster. God really blessed me with a great job when so many in the U.S. are unemployed, Give God Glory.

This picture shows my colleague. He is spraying off the dishes before they go into the dish machine. Similar to God recreating the earth by melting the elements of the old earth with fervent heat, so we also melt the elements of old food off our dishes.

This is me with a beard and hair guard rinsing off the dishes. Dunking the dishes into the bus tub was like baptism for the dishes. Most of the dishes at Cracker Barrel probably went through this baptism and are now born again. That is another great Biblical analogy that makes work interesting. Also I have the opportunity to show what a Christian talks and acts like.
