(This short post is a coincidental follow up to "Eat Cake (after all the world is ending).")
I like Uber drivers. Most have a story, and I am interested to hear. Today Ubering home from the airport rental car facility I met an older gentleman on his second day as a driver (a nUberer). He had some trouble finding me; he was not very familiar with the app. I was mildly frustrated, but really didn't have to be anywhere. When I met him, the frustration immediately subsided.
Shortly into the conversation he asked me the following question: "So David, what is important to you?" I should have responded, "cake," just for the reaction. In a way, that IS how I responded. Specifically, I said, "I guess if you boil it down, I'd say faith and family are most important to me.
I've been asked several times following yesterday's post what my favorite cake is. Frankly, I'm not much of a literal cake-eater, though I can indulge at times. My cake?... FAITH and FAMILY.
It turned out that Uber Clyde and I have some commonalities: both have MDiv degrees from seminaries, both former pastors; both want to make a difference; both want to EAT CAKE.
Just a rambling follow up. No point really. But pretty cool.
So... what's important to you?
For now...
