Everybody has one...

An opinion. A belief. Some sort of moral code.


I am honestly at my wits end with this whole Chick-fil-a debacle. Chick-fil-a is closed on Sundays. This isn't much of a surprise that the company supports traditional Christian values.

I don't think any one has ever snuffed the kind "my pleasure" always extended to you at the window or in the restaurant. "Based on Matthew 5:41, Cathy is on a mission to provide customers with "second-mile" service -- exceeding even the highest expectations of a typical fast-food restaurant." Are we still complaining?

Ok- wait for it- "We don't claim to be a Christian business," Cathy told the Biblical Recorder in a recent visit to North Carolina. He attended a business leadership conference many years ago where he heard Christian businessman Fred Roach say, "There is no such thing as a Christian business." "That got my attention," Cathy said. Roach went on to say, "Christ never died for a corporation. He died for you and me."

Still mad? Ok let us continue...

"The company invests in Christian growth and ministry through its WinShape Foundation (WinShape.com). The name comes from the idea of shaping people to be winners. It began as a college scholarship and expanded to a foster care program, an international ministry, and a conference and retreat center modeled after the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove. That morphed into a marriage program in conjunction with national marriage ministries," Cathy added. "


So a company who gives back? Awesome.


"We are very much supportive of the family -- the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that. We operate as a family business ... our restaurants are typically led by families; some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized.


So, now riddle me this. Where in this whole interview does he once bash other beliefs or said they were wrong. I am so disgusted with society and their small-minded tactics to take something positive and turn it negative. They support tradtional marriage, if that bothers you than that's just sad. It bothers me that the only time I want Chicken Minis is on Sunday--- when they are closed. But I am not protesting outside a grand opening. Nope, I shall wait til Monday.

I just find it sad that our society has succumb to such lengths. Everyone always wants to argue. Everybody has an opinion.

thought for the day.

 

"In the South, the breeze blows softer...neighbors are friendlier, nosier, and more talkative. {By contrast with the Yankee, the Southerner never uses one word when ten or twenty will do}...This is a different place. Our way of thinking is different, as are our ways of seeing, laughing, singing, eating, meeting and parting. Our walk is different, as the old song goes, our talk and our names. Nothing about us is quite the same as in the country to the north and west. What we carry in our memories is different too, and that may explain everything else."

--Charles Kuralt in "Southerners: Portrait of a People"

 

blogging world.

After much deliberation, as if I need to add one more thing to my to-do list, I have decided to enter the world of blogging. When I was talking to one of my best friends, it dawned on me... I have a lot to say. So here we go...
