Chick Fil A has made national news for its owners stance on gay marriage. Anytime they do something even remotely non-PC, their supposed slip up goes viral. Hash tags pop up all over the place.
So why is that what they have done in the wake of the Orlando nightclub shooting hasnt received a single mention on the mainstream new outlets?
Its probably because people like New York City Mayor, Bill DeBlasio might have to eat crow instead of chicken. DeBlasio has said that Chick Fil A spreads a message of hate.
Not so yesterday. In a shocking move, the Orlando location at University and Rouse Road fired up its grills on Sunday. The chain is notorious for not being open, ever, on the first day of the week. Employees cooked up hundreds of their famous chicken sandwiches. They brewed dozens of gallons of sweet tea.
Then, instead of making a single dime, they crated the product of their labor to the One Blood donation center. The food and drinks were handed out, free of charge, to all the people who had lined up to donate blood.
So far, the only mentions of the incident have been from individuals on Facebook. They have posted photos thanking the restaurant for their thoughtfulness and generosity.
But, wait, those people were waiting to give blood to victims that were mostly gay people. Doesnt Chick Fil A hate gays? Thats what we keep being told.
Turns out, that while the founders definitely dont approve of that choice of lifestyle, they believe in compassion. Who knew? A bunch of people claiming to be Christians care about others even when they dont agree with them. This group took time out of their schedules to volunteer to help those who were also trying to do their part.
On top of that, the franchises location on Wells Road in Orange Park is even offering coupons for a free frosted lemonade to anyone who donates blood when the One Blood mobile unit is at there store on June 14.
So much for Chick Fil hAte becoming a thing.
I am blessed to have a Chic Fil A within about 20 mins of thre different directions.
You need to make the trip to yours!
Must patronage them more often!

A for Chick Fil class organization all the way.”
Absolutely class act, and true to their Christian beliefs. Thank you Chick Fil for your humanity and compassion.
You are not alone.
I only order biscuit and gravy when I go there.(not on the menu, but available)
The IRS will investigate them for this, there has to be some tax law that they’re breaking. No good deed goes unpunished.

Mark
23 One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24 The Pharisees said to him, Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?
25 He answered, Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26 In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.
27 Then he said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28 So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.
The advantage of living in the north woods is having Chik Fil a A in every small town...the numbers being what they are.usually means there might be two people in line. Sometimes depends on time of day
Gonna have to go for breakfast. Made myself hungry thinking about it
Is that a real box, or was it photoshopped?
If it’s real, it’s brilliant!
Go Jesus Go!
This is great! The store is right down the road from UCF and 50,000 college students.
Amen! Jesus converted Saul into Paul so he could say such glorious things.
To borrow somewhat from a former clintonista hollywoodlum, in a few more months we will say, “That is our IRS now.” :)
The box is photo-shopped but still funny :-)
Salient verses those are. I wanted to add another.
Mark 3:1-6New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Heals on the Sabbath
3 Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2 Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3 Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, Stand up in front of everyone.
4 Then Jesus asked them, Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill? But they remained silent.
5 He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, Stretch out your hand. He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6 Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.

Same here. The spices they use on their chicken do not appeal to me. I only like their chicken when it’s in their breakfast burritos, which have so many other flavors that cancel out their chicken spices.
