Baja on the Verizon
A couple of months ago Ty introduced us to the Mexican grill, Baja Fresh. We have since found ourselves frequenting this fine establishment a couple of times a week. Well, maybe more than that becasue some of the employees know us by name now. Today Bobby and I went there for lunch. To Bobby a resturant is a meal–he gets the same thing everytime he is there, then he knows that he’ll like it. To me a resturant is an experience–I like to try everything on the menu so that I get the full picture of the place. Today Bobby got his usual and I got the chicken taquitos. Delicious.
This week we ordered new cell phones. Our plan with Verizon has a part called “New Every Two”. With this we get two new phones free every two years. When I placed the order I, ordered my upgrade first and Bobby’s second. Well, the order was processed and I was e-mailed that it was split to arrive in two separate packages. When only one box arrived yesterday I assumed it was mine…having ordered mine first. But instead it was Bobby’s, and he had all kinds of smart comments about the last being first and all. It is a fun kind of phone, one of those ones with the little camera and lot of ringtones. When his phone rings it plays some upbeat song and we start dancing around. I’m eagerly awaiting my all-new flip Motorolla and wishing that I put others above myself more often.
Last night when my friends were over for dinner I brought this up and we started talking about humility. I told them how somone said to me, “Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself. It’s not thinking of yourself at all.” I found this to be a simple, but profound reminder to exalt God most high, consider others as better than myself and pray with all my heart John 3:30, “Christ must increase, but I must decrease.”
