God is awesome
5pm, the sun is still up because the days are getting longer, tomato soup was warming up, and i was putting grill cheese sandwich number 12 of 16 on the pan. suddenly, Cliff Heide, the leading authority at the Edge skatepark comes barging into the kitchen. "we need to come up with some more food fast, a whole ton of guys just showed up" he announces. panic struck me, "but we only have 16 slices of cheese" i responded. on any other day, this would have been a sufficient amount for everyone to enjoy one sandwich with their bowl of soup. But not this time. Hoj and I said a prayer, Jesus, you fed the five thousand, now allow us to feed the 35 kids before us. we then quickly hit up the pantry to see what we could do. we found a bag of macaroni, and pour it into the soup. then we cut each sandwich in half. it was a bit nerve racking, i definitely did not want to be short of food so that someone wouldn't get a meal. that would have been a horrible experience. when the time came to eat, we all ate received a delicious meal. no one complained that there wasn't enough; everyone was satisfied. after the fact, i thought about what happened, there wasn't 12 basketfuls of leftovers to be cleaned up, but 16 sandwiches cut in half still only equals 32, and unless i was missing something, there were 35 of us there that at and were satisfied....
