“For the Lord God is a sun and shield… the Lord bestows favor and honor… no good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly…” — Psalm 84:11 ✝️
Growing up in Atlanta… if word got out that I answered this prompt with anything other than Chick-fil-A… I’d probably get ostracized, kicked out of church, and have my house egged in the night by a pastor dressed like a ninja…
So yeah… let’s keep the chicken-lovin’ Bible Belt Army happy-happy, as Phil from Duck Dynasty would say…
Seriously though… it’s a freakin’ amazin’ place for fast eats. Chick-fil-A was born here in Atlanta… started by Truett Cathy… a legend in these parts. A great Christian man… a man who really cared about his employees and his customers… he built his business on biblical principles… a man who was always closed on Sunday.
I’ve even got a personal story tied to him.
My ex-girlfriend’s grandmother owned and ran a newspaper here in Atlanta for many years called The Southside Insider. She was friends with Mr. Cathy… and he actually sold her the building for that newspaper for $1. I always thought that was pretty cool.
I never got to meet him… I almost did. Missed him a few times in passing… but I’ve been blessed to hear many stories about him.
So from its humble beginnings here in my city… Chick-fil-A is now everywhere. But it’s different here in Atlanta. Different than anywhere else.
Here… we’ve got the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill.
If yall can fit through the door… then by all means… come on in and have a seat 😎
These places aren’t just fast food joints… they feel like actual restaurants. You can sit down… be waited on… and get menu items folks in other places have probably never even heard of.
One of them is found only at the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill…
Ladies and gentlemen… I present to you… The Hot Brown.
Man…
Let me describe this thing!
It’s like a casserole-style dish with white meat chicken in a rich cream-style gravy like thick sauce… but it’s not a gravy, really, I don’t think… and it’s covered in melted cheddar… topped with strips of bacon… and served with toast.
You’re just gonna have to trust me on this one.
I wouldn’t lie to you. my taste buds are elite.
I wish I had one right now.
And their sweet iced tea? elite too.
When I’m not goin’ with the Hot Brown… my next favorite is the spicy chicken sandwich with pepper jack and waffle fries. The mac ’n’ cheese is worth fightin’ for… and the cheesecake is straight-up badass.
So if you’re ever in the Atlanta area… now you know what you need to do.
I might just see you there.
Lunch is on me.
…
And in me.

Bawk! 🐔…

📖 Colossians 3:23–24 (NIV)
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…”
Well, I think I’m overthinking this whole thing… About believing… in something I cannot see ‘Cause when I think about it I think there’s no doubt about it I do it every single day Well, it’s just like the air No one knows where it comes or where it goes But when I breathe in I believe again and again
And if they say there’s no such thing As Heaven or a God who waits for me I just point to the air And I know You’re there.
Hope yall enjoy the music and the message and have a blessed Sunday…
📖 Romans 1:20 (NIV)
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”
“So let me go down the line… Let me feel it all… Joy, Pain, and Sky.”
