I worked engine-assembly at General Motors, soul-destroying work, to get me through school. But Ronnie, the 50-something guy next to me on the line, took interest in people, and in me. I looked forward to my days with him. Perhaps that is part of what Jesus meant when he said, “Work for food that lasts.” Thinking of Ronnie still makes me smile.
