I’m all in on the punctuality discussion! When I did the fellows program, we had to write a paper about our “governing values” - the principles that dictate our decision-making - and punctuality was near the top for me. The only trouble was, we had to defend our values in light of the life of Jesus - that man was NEVER on time! 😬 (I concluded much like you did - that punctuality is a way of honoring others and communicating their worth. A tangible way to embody what Simone Weil said: “Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.”

Ooh what a great quote. Someday I would love to sit down with you and learn more about your fellows program.
And argh, yes -- Jesus was never on time. haha
