This was a day that support rarely seen across the country was exhibited at
the 1600 Chick-fil-A stores in the U.S. Christians and others determined to
support the values of the company and its president and the right to state
those values came to eat.
They came in droves backing up traffic on major city streets, filling
parking lots, standing in line out the doors into the streets, some in
temperatures well over 100 degrees. As this is being written at 9:30 p.m.
they are still standing in line here in the Fort.
This is not about hating gays. This is about people showing up to support a
company that came immediately under attack from liberal news pundits,
politicians, gay rights groups and some cities. Why? Because the president
of the company said he supported traditional marriage …… you know, the
kind between a man and woman.
At the Fort Smith restaurant today, some gay protesters gathered outside in
the over 100 degree heat. The response of the restaurant? They served water
to them along with everybody else. That was typical of actions across the
country. Not hate. Just support.
The people who stood in line today did something that churches across
America fail miserably to do. They came together automatically when
something important needed their action. And they didn’t need anybody’s
permission to do it. No organization was required. Wherever there was a CFA
restaurant, they just came.
The public comments made by any Christian leader should express humble
appreciation.
Finally, here’s my thanks to all of you who took time out to go, sweat,
spend some money, and show support for a company that deserves it. America
got a view of what we can do when something we know is important is laid in
front of us. My appreciation just grew throughout the day as the magnitude
of what people were accomplishing became clear.
What happened today will reach far beyond the effects of support for one
company. |
