Sharon Hodde Miller, a friend and prolific writer, shares some practical insight as to why college students have a particular advantage. On her blog, Sheworships.com, she writes about “The Insanity of College Students.”
She asks some great questions:

Empty your hands.
This is what Charles Swindoll invites all of us to do. I’ve written about it before.
He explains it, better than I, in this book…
I love how Corrie ten Boom used to put it. She used to say, “Vell, I’ve learned to hold every ting loosely, because it hurts ven [...]
These past few weeks, we’ve been overwhelmed by coverage of the earthquake recovery in Haiti.
Many of us don’t know what an appropriate response looks like. We can’t cut through the clutter of the crumbling buildings and the number of dead.
Don’t let it overwhelm you. It’s more overwhelming to them.

Here are some ideas:
• Allow customers to text in their orders so their products (if you have products) are ready and waiting upon arrival.
