I have the wonderful privilege of working at the MINNESOTA STATE FAIR!!! A family in our Church has a business that they promote every year in the Home Improvement Building. Well, the other day my son and I were a bit early and so I decided to wait in line for a KARE 11 bag (crazy I know) they were giving them away at 10:30 and so I hopped in line at 9:30. I was 5th in line and then the crew from KARE decided to line people up in a sep section. There we were-the first five in line, and I was the last of the first five. We were all a bit crazy truth be told :D
About 45 minutes in to our “wait together” a gentlemen came up to ask me what street we were on-now keep in mind that I was asked to NOT LET ANYONE ELSE STAND BEHIND ME (I am WAY too much of a people pleaser for that role)-I told him which street and he continued to stand near the privileged five and wait for his party. A lady who had been part of “section two” jumped over the gate and told me in no uncertain terms to “watch that guy, he may try to just sneak in right behind you” I think I gave her a ‘WHOA NELLY’ Look. WOW, I thought to myself it is crazy what we invest in, myself included, things that really do not matter in light of eternity…time to ease up and invest what will last. On a side note-I did get my really nice blue backpack bag :D and it reminds me how crazy I am and that life is too short to worry about who may or may not be cutting in line!
