Chic-fil-Awesome could and should go GLOBAL
What if Chic-fil-a went global, or at least expanded to Khon Kaen, Thailand? What if on the Chic-fil-A restaurant locater page there was a country tab? What if in doing so, they took a great business to the ends of the earth with a great platform to declare the gospel to other folks in the industry by being a great company, building relationships and sharing life? It could be done! It's time for that Christian sandwich to go great commission....OK chicken sandwich, but you know what I'm sayin'. Are their any takers in the Chic-fil-A fraternity? I am sure this has been thought of before, but what's the delay? The resources, operators, and employees are awesome...not to mention the Chicken sandwich. The goal would not be to make all the money that I believe would be made, but to make a global difference by having a business presence in the local communities all over the world. I know Truett believes Proverbs 22:1, it's on his home page,
"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold."
I think Chic-fil-A could have a global good name and exalt the Name that is above all names in doing so.
I mean come on, Sizzler is in Thailand...do you remember that place? Much could be learned from KFC and McDonald's and Pizza Hut.
Yes, much of this desire began selfishly as I settle for KFC's spicy drum sticks...that are good. But as I longed for Truett's sandwich I began to think about how well they could actually do in so many ways.
I know the hot-brown and pot pie may never make it out of the country due to airport security and health codes of other nations, but the trademark sandwich and lemonade could and I submit that it should.
The cows are not so cute here and rumor has it they are afraid of heights but they need the work and want to live too.
What are the people doing in the picture below you ask? They are waiting for Chic-fil-a to go global and bring them some Chic-fil-awesome.
renovation
Today Sophie and I tried to go to a Chic-fil-a near our home today for lunch only to find that it is being renovated. I will totally give them the benefit of the doubt and believe that they need to renovate. Also, I don't get a vote in it anyway. But, to me, I did not see anything wrong with it, I thought it was pretty nice just the way it was. During this renovation they did have a little circus-type vending cart on the side that helped us addicted patrons....but no fries so Sophie wouldn't have it. We went to Wendy's across the street.
Regardless of why they are renovating, they saw the need to do it.
It got me thinking about my life. Things may seem fine to others and even myself, but am I in need of renovation. Yes, I could lose some weight and shave, but I am talking about my heart, my soul. How is my attitude during this time of waiting to get over to Thailand and transition? Do I have some walls in my life that need taken down? Am I renovating areas of my life for the worse, bringing things in that have no place. Renovations are not always just cosmetic, they are also needed at times due to pour maintenance in the past that leads to rust, mold, and leaks. What am I neglecting in my heart and mind that is slowly starting to rot? Some things we don't see, others we do. I think we need to constantly be open to the Holy Spirit doing a renovation within us.
through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah
5 I acknowledged my sin to you,
and I did not cover my iniquity;
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah
Psalm 32:3-5
