Support Chick-fil-A!!!

If you haven't heard, Dan Cathy (CEO of Chick-fil-A) made a comment the other day regarding Chick-fil-A's views on marriage/family: 

"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."

"I think we are inviting God’s judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage.' I pray God’s mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we would have the audacity to try to redefine what marriage is all about."

Liberals and the media in general have taken this to the extreme.. They are saying that Chick-fil-A is a horrible company simply because of their views. This is absurd!

In response to all the negativity Chick-fil-A has been getting, Mike Huckabee has started a Chick-fil-A support page on Facebook. Mike Huckabee also announced Wednesday, August 1, 2012 as Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day. If you support family, the biblical definition of marriage, Christian values, and enjoy good food, be sure to go to your local Chick-fil-A on August 1st. And mention to your cashier why you're there! Today at work I had so many customers comment that they decided to come to Chick-fil-A because they agree with Chick-fil-A's Christian values. It was great to see that so many people support traditional marriage and companies that are willing to take a stand on the Word of God.

The event page on Facebook mysteriously disappeared for twelve hours yesterday... Facebook said it was a mistake but I'm inclined to believe it wasn't an accident. This was posted by Mike Huckabee on Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day's event page:

"Could it be we were attacked because of our beliefs? Could it be that Facebook has a glitch in their system with a VERY NARROW target? Who knows if we will ever know for sure, but one thing we do know for sure is that we are back up and running and we need your help to keep this going. We have one week until Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day and that is a long time to get others involved. Don't stop inviting your friends, tell them why it is important to you and get them on board. So we got knocked down, but hey! WE ARE BACK UP!"

As the cows would say: EAT MOR CHIKIN!!! :)

Mr. Right or Mr. Right Now?

In our culture today, pretty much all teenagers are dating and they have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. They get all caught up in the relationship and put so much into it but then, what happens when they've had enough? They break up! Break-ups can cause lots of pain and hurt and "What did I do wrong?" "Am I just not good enough?" type of questions to arise. When you get into and start playing the dating game, you are saying, "God can't bring my husband/wife to me. I have to go find them." As Christian teens, we need to be using the time we have right now to prepare ourselves for marriage not dating every other person that we see. I've heard people say things like, "Dating is practice for marriage because you learn how to be faithful to only one person." Really? So in marriage, when you've had enough or get into an argument, you can just get a divorce (break-up). Yes, you could go that way but God intended marriage to be a life long commitment. At the altar the preacher says, "Till death do you part." but, sadly, most people don't truly mean it deep down. Just look at how many marriages end in divorce. Divorce isn't and never was part of God's plan. If you don't want your marriage to end that way, then don't practice it now with dating! The old saying is "Practice makes perfect!" but really it should be "Practice makes permanent!" Whenever you do something over and over the same exact way, that's way you'll do every time and unless you put extreme effort into changing, you'll automatically do it the way you've done it for so long. So dating is actually practice for divorce- not for a happy, the-way-God-intended-it-to-be marriage. It may seem like you're missing out now by not dating but it will be worth it in the long run!
