Chick-fil-A Update

Yet, another Chick-fil-A blog update (at least for those of you at ihop) But to all my peeps elswhere here's the scoop.

Camp outside of resturaunt for 24hrs (or more) and be among the first 100 people to do that. You cannot leave the parking lot at all.

Winner get's to hug Chick-fil-A mascot, "Benedict Arnold" the cow (wait is he a traitor to cows everywhere by promoting "eat chicken," or is he a Animal Farm secret service agent who has infiltrated the chickens and is actually protecting the "eating of cows" everywhere???)

Winner get's 52 free combo meal tickets (and according to Steve's math this is valued at $540)

As you can see from the above photo, I got a bonus hug from the cow and the 52 combo cards. I was #5 in line arriving at CFA at 3:30am and leaving at 7:30am 28hrs later. Yes it was worth it!!

Side Note #1:

We went for the chicken but we ended up with much more. There was rich fellowship with those we pray with everyday. We had some good intercession sets and devos (and naps, hey just like ihop). We started the day in prayer. Dedicating this new Christian owned business (Chick-fil-A is a Christian company that is not afraid to show what they believe in, for one they are closed on Sunday's) We played games together. Asphault football and soccer, limbo, hoola-hoop (Christian was crowned champion of the hoopers).

But best of all was the worship. We gathered in the corner of the parking lot and began to worship and intercede for the 60-70 people who were not ihoppers (yes there were about 30-40 ihopper representing, and all 30-40 were the first ones there). Then as the worship continued people went out spontaniously praying for others and sharing the love of Christ. It was glorious! This was all while 2 loud speakers were blasting out music from a dj that the resturaunt brought for the special occasion. And of course most of those songs were not very Pro-Christ.

After this we all went to bed at around midnight and then like clockwork, some other ihoppers began to worship. So as everybody was asleep in their tents, the nightwatchers lifted up the name of God's only Son Jesus Christ!

Father, thank for Jesus and thank you for free chicken!

Sidenote #2:

there is no other sidenote (unless I told you about our attempt to talk the mascot into letting Zach Wood tackle him, while I videotaped and would later put on Youtube and the local sports radio dj was willing to do play by play of the whole event and throw in some free Chiefs tickets if we pulled off the whole event. Benedict Arnold the Cow responding by trying to kick me in the youknowwhere twice, luckily I blocked both attempts. We took it as a No.)
