Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day Aug.1st

This Wednesday (August 1st) is Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day!  For those of you who haven't heard the news lately, Chick-fil-A is a Christian fastfood company in the United States that is based on Biblical values.  They have been very successful and make a yummy chicken sandwich.  Recently the CEO made a statement about the Biblical definition of marriage and as a result has become involved in a "Culture War".  For more details here is a link to a news article I read this morning: www.csmonitor.com/USA/Latest-N…

As Christians it is important for us to support companies that have enough back bone to stand up for their Christian beliefs. As the CEO said himself, having the freedom to believe what we want is what makes America so great.

For those who support Chick-fil-A's stance on Biblical standards, this Wednesday is the day to show your support by eating at one of their restaurants.  I am not one to eat fast food...but I think that on Wednesday I'm going to be eating there for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Excerpt from the facebook page:
"I ask you to join me in speaking out on Wednesday, August 1 "Chick Fil-A Appreciation Day." No one is being asked to make signs, speeches, or openly demonstrate. The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick Fil-A on Wednesday, August 1. Too often, those on the left make corporate statements to show support for same sex marriage, abortion, or profanity, but if Christians affirm traditional values, we're considered homophobic, fundamentalists, hate-mongers, and intolerant. This effort is not being launched by the Chick Fil-A company and no one from the company or family is involved in proposing or promoting it.

There's no need for anyone to be angry or engage in a verbal battle. Simply affirm appreciation for a company run by Christian principles by showing up on Wednesday, August 1 or by participating online – tweeting your support or sending a message on Facebook."

Eat more chick'n!
