I don't know if you've heard, but there's a brouhaha today with a bunch of people choosing to support chicken today and others boycotting it on Friday. Truth is, most of them don't know the real purpose of the battle, they just like a fight. They haven't really researched what was asked or what was said or how much money went where. Others feel victimized or stigmatized or ostracized, but few of them feel oversized from all that bread, and milkshakes. Mmmm... Sorry, I was gone for a moment.
I have read several blogs and comments on this issue. Most of them include a semblance of truth, but most contain several errors. Instead of finding the truth, some people would rather just choose a side. (I prefer a sweet potato for my side, but who serves those?!)
I just have two things to say about all this:
By creating intolerant poles, you're not helping your cause. Nobody on the other side can hear what you're saying, because you're screaming so loud.
While you're standing in line to buy your chicken or to protest those who do, pull out your Bible app (I recommend YouVersion) and read: If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. (James 1:26, 27 KJV)
Wherever you have lunch this week, please remember those in your city who have nothing to eat.
