So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Just got off of my first "shift" at the soup kitchen. We were serving pancakes today, I was in charge of syrup. I was also in charge of filling bowls full of Frosted Flakes before we opened. We went through Frosted Flakes like nothing, I kept having to trade off with the pancake guy to refill them.

Apparently everybody is really into sugar and carbs. We had Frosted Flakes, pancakes with syrup, and coffee... they put two big teaspoons of sugar in all of the coffee cups ahead of time.

It was pretty busy the whole time. The others said that sometimes the beginning of the month can be slow because people have just gotten their checks, so they go out and treat themselves to something else.

At the end the woman who was in charge shooed us away because she said that she could clean much faster than we could. She told us we could eat a pancake, so I ended up eating one (no syrup).

I think I'll go back, but the time of day is not my best... getting up at 5:50 am is bad enough... but when you were at work until 3 am?

Brutal.

We don't have soup kitchens here. I wish we do because I don't mind doing community service of that sort.. not going around playing with kids whom clings to you like a baby monkey to their mothers.

Maybe a lot more people are saving for a rainy day, that's why the soup kitchen's still busy. After all the unrest in the middle east, inflation is definitely going to kill us any day now.

Jeez, I hope they serve something more nutritious for the other meals.

That's pretty cool! I can see how that might be brutal. Talk about burning the candle at both ends.

3 am? intense...

i recently experienced a pancake or three without syrup. i hate to say it, but the bready round was not as delicious without tons of sugary liquid.

i think it's interesting to work in a soup kitchen. some of my friends want to give away food to the underprivileged, but they only want to give simple food which is not nutritious like fried noodle with little vegetable due to budget constraint. as a foodie lover, i find it is best not to give away food when one can't provide a decent and yet nutritious food.
