My Take On The Whole Starbucks Red Cup Controversy

What bothers me about the whole Starbucks cup thing is that it’s just a cup of coffee, that costs more than some people have in their names at this moment. Perhaps Christians, me included should give 5 bucks to a food bank so that those without things like food can eat a meal or more. Maybe everyone should give up Starbucks for a week and give what they would spend there to those in need. Let’s get real and understand that the war on Christmas, is really those observing it not understanding the meaning is about a Savior who would show the world to be better and to love venti.

There are way other things going on in the world to be angry about. Just saying.

Remembrance Sunday

(From Wikipedia) Remembrance Sunday is held in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth as a day “to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts”

To my friends throughout the UK and the Commonwealth I remember with you too. America is grateful for your partnership and friendship in fighting for peace and freedom for all. God bless everyone who has served at home and abroad.
