I will admit that I am a conflict avoider. A peace maker. A drama hater. I hate debating. Although it isn't all bad, it is something that I have had to work on in marriage because some conflict is healthier than none.
It has been impossible to miss the headlines regarding Chick-Fil-A. But I've pretty much stopped there. I don't read all the articles with opposing views. I accidently catch a blurp on the news or a facebook comment. Some call it apathy. But for me, I have zero confidence that the media is going to give me a fair story. Read one article and get one opinion. Read a different article and you are told that everything you already read was a lie. Blah Blah Blah. It's all drama. What it boils down to for me is that I do not believe that it is my job to pass judgement on another person. And I sure as heck am not going to make a case based on the media.
For some reason I decided to read this article regarding the situation. Maybe because a friend posted it and I trusted the source? I don't know. But I found myself enjoying the perspective.
