I am very aware that today is Chick-fil-A Customer Appreciation Day. I will not be participating for several reasons; most of them are the same reasons I never go to Chic-fil-A any other day.
1) Eating out is a luxury rarely afforded to our family. When we do eat out, it's usually $5 Hot-N-Ready Pizzas from Little Caesar's. I try to cook better food for my family at home, and spend our money on other things.
2) Chick-fil-A is on the other side of town. There are umpteen restaurants between here and there.
3) Chick-fil-A is overpriced.
4) I have work all day and church tonight. I don't have time to wait in lines that wrap around the building. I'm gonna let all the other Dan Cathy fans do that. I'm sure he won't notice I'm not there!
Oh, you thought I was going to say something about freedom of speech or my belief in traditional marriage. Do I need to say that? Ok, fine.
Of course I believe the man has a right to his opinion. I'm just not going to hang out at a fast food restaurant all day to prove it. (Though I fully support any of you who have made the time to wait in line!)
Yes, I believe in the Biblical definition of marriage (one man, one woman, one God). I'm just not a fan of pointing out other people's sins. I am going to try to focus on the planks in my eyes before I start picking and choosing specks out of others'.
And that, my friends, is my 2 cents on something that I'm sure will be forgotten as soon as something more interesting comes along.
Luke 6:41 (NIV)
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
