I'm a lunch lady at GLC. Most likely those who are reading this are not (but hi to all my kitchen friends who are!) There's a lot of stuff that goes on in the kitchen in order to prepare a meal, more than I ever knew. But I think anyone who is able to click on a mouse to read this can understand the basic concept of a kitchen; to feed people.
People come through the serving line to get food (or at the very least be presented with it.) There is no doubt about it. If no one gives them food, they are going to go crazy, mess with all the salt and pepper shakers, and then go look for food somewhere else. Probably at Hammond's.
No one is going to pick up a spoon and not serve the campers their beans on Mexican-food night. They were hired based on the fact that they could do more than just be there, but actually serve. If they did just stand there, Karen would tell them to get to work or do it herself. The campers would not go unfed. When you are hired to work in the kitchen, it is your job to give the campers their beans, its not just going to happen.
It is obvious when people aren't being fed. In the kitchen, any report of people going hungry would be fixed immediately. So what's the difference between that and in living our lives as Christians? Why don't we hold others accountable when they aren't doing their job, or even if they aren't treating themselves properly? While we should always be an example of love, "being nice" about anything isn't going to feed people.
