Chick-Fil-A Concert

My new fruit love? Blueberries!  They're great in cereal, smoothies, or by the handful!


I almost added blueberries to my salad for lunch, but I decided to save them for another day.  Instead, my salad included raisins, grilled chicken, peanuts, cheese, spinach and romaine lettuce.


Last night, I went to a free concert at Chick-Fil-A.  The concert was hosted by my favorite Houston radio station, 89.3 KSBJ.  I love this radio station - they always play the most upbeat, heatfelt Christian music.


I wasn't very familiar with the artist, Kari Jobe, but I had heard several of her songs on the radio.


She led a great worship service and I was truly impressed with her performance!


I was surprised by the audience turn-out for a concert on a Tuesday night!  The Chick-Fil-A parking lot was packed with people.


It was a perfect evening to enjoy some tunes under the bright blue sky.


I am truly amazed at how many charitable events Chick-Fil-A participates in.  Not only is their food delicious, the entire corporation is led by very sincere Christians.  The community truly benefits from these restaurants!

Fun fact:  At every new Chick-Fil-A's grand opening, the first 100 customers win free Chick-Fil-A for a year!

In college, I camped out with a couple of friends in a Chick-Fil-A parking lot overnight so that I could be one of the first 100!  We each won 52 coupons for free Chick-Fil-A sandwiches or nuggets (once a week for a year)!

As a college student, I was really thankful for the free meal every week!  Surprisingly, I never got tired of eating Chick-Fil-A!

Have you ever camped out overnight for anything (tickets/free food)?
I've only camped out overnight that one time for free Chick-Fil-A.  A lot of my friends used to camp out for college football or basketball tickets - I never cared enough about the games to do that, though!

  7. I didn't know that about Chik-fil-a!! No wonder they had promotions on my college campus all the time! haha (I went to a Christian school). I've never tried them since I don't eat meat, but I think it's wonderful that they do so many things for the community.

    And I've actually never camped out for anything before.
