#2 – They Stick To Their Convictions
You know what I love…AND HATE…about Chic-fil-a? They are not open on Sunday! (Just being honest!) There are Sunday’s when I long for a chicken sandwich from there–but I can’t get one, not until Monday.
True! At my first part-time youth ministry position, I would often be a the church all day Sunday getting ready for youth group Sunday night, and need some dinner. At least once a month I would head out for a quick bite before youth group and pull into the Chic-fil-A, only to be disappointed.

#3 – Things Are Always Very Clean
I never NEVER been into a nasty Chic-fil-a–EVER. The restrooms are always nice–the floors always look like they have just been mopped–despite the tons of traffic they get…they manage to keep things nice and neat.
We can REALLY use this lesson! I have this deal on Sunday’s that when I am walking into the building we are renting and I see a piece of paper on the ground–I pick it up. When I go to the restroom and I see a paper towel on the floor–I pick it up. People, especially the unchurched, want to come into a clean environment.
Guilty. Our high school room is really a mess right now (we've been repainting for, oh, six months now!) and this will light a fire under my behind to get it all in tip-top shape.
