Last Place Holy Thursday

No one seems to like being in last place or the bottom of the heap.  No one except the Christian God. Christians are supposed to follow this God of theirs when he became human and washed feet.  Yep.  Their God washes feet.  It is a stretch to get a Catholic kid to make their bed or take out the garbage or hang up their clothes, much less wash feet.  But that is what the Christian God did when human.  Today is Holy Thursday in Christian circles.  It only happens one time each year, so only one time are Christians reminded in their Bible that God washes feet.  Only a slave, a last place person, the bottom of the hierarchical cultural heap, washes feet.  Christians seem to be more interested the Holy Communion aspect of their religion.  They don't have to humble themselves or be of much service to receive communion.  Communion comes from the Last Supper which Jesus only did once, just like the washing of feet.  But Christians picked up big time on the Last Supper, not so much the humbling servant washing feet.  So the next time you finish last in something or think you are at the bottom of heap of recognition, just know, if you are a Christian, that you are closer to God than all the people above you or ahead of you.  So you Christian runners, no need to train hard to be a success and look good.  Be last.  Train less.  Eat chocolate.  Be closer to your God.
