The other day I heard someone proclaim that the cynic is one who throws the towel in. Life is never as good as we might want, people disappoint, and clouds overshadow the sun. No wonder the cynic throws the towel in!
Then I got to thinking.
A servant also throws the towel in. Jesus, in the last hours of his life threw the towel in. Into the lives of those he was working with. Washing their feet. Serving them. Caring for them.
I guess I would like to be known as one who throws the towel in.
