Creamer Tab

 

I think that Chick fil-A coffee is too strong.  Five years ago, they changed their coffee (I think) to mimic Starbuck’s.  Again, too strong (only my opinion).  So, I invented “Mild Roast Coffee”.  The staff at CfA fills my coffee cup only half-way, finishing the other half with hot water from the back (the red handle where they get the piping hot water to make their famous sweet tea).  Then I add six half-and-half creams.  I know, I know, it’s not much like coffee when I’m finished.  But as I open the creamers, I have noticed that one side opens easier than the other.  It must have something to do with the machine that glues the paper top onto the plastic creamer cups.  The leading tab (according to the printing on the lid) is glued too well while the trailing tab can be easily pulled up.  Or is it vice versa?  Anyhow, one way works and the other way doesn’t.  It’s like rubbing a cat the wrong way … either rub the cat the other way or else turn the cat around.  When you do, the cat is happy, and you don’t get scratched.  Hey, there are two ways to get to heaven: our way (our own good works) or God’s way (faith in the substitutionary work of Jesus Christ).  But the first way isn’t really a way to heaven; it’s a way that we TRY to get to heaven.  Paul understood this very well:  Galatians 1:6-8, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”  Hey, if someone comes to you with “another Gospel” send him packing!  Because there really isn’t “another Gospel”!  John 14:6  Hey, turn the cat around; turn the creamer around; and turn the Gospel around, because Jesus Christ is The Only Way!
