Being a West Virginia University Alumni my memories of a "Red Cup" are not the same as most people. It's been years since I was a student. The "Red Cup" experience was all new this morning! I got the VICTORY! Free coffee for a year!
Well, I'm sure I got your attention now. Whether you hate Starbucks or love it, free coffee for a year is a real steal! I missed the promotion last year. They always run out of the "Red Cups" early. Each store only gets so many. I've been adjusting to Time Zones so I've been getting up early. I Googled nearest Starbucks to my location and was shocked to find one within running distance, only 1.2 miles away. In my PJ's off I went flip flops and all to find me a Starbucks. Halt! It was inside Fairmont State University Falcon Center. I had to park and walk in the rain to the University. No drive thru. But wait! Hark! I must still be dreaming. There was a Chick-fil-A too! Worth a walk in the rain. Okay, I am a bit excited. Chick-fil-A is my favorite restaurant. It really is the little things in life.
Is this Blog ever going to get spiritual? Yes. God cares about the little things in your life. It's really not about "Red Cups" and "Chick-fil-A", it's about Him. The God who made the universe cares about the little things. He cares about you and I. Holding my cup in hand, looking at the details I realized it said, "Merry Coffee", not "Merry Christmas." Expected in the world in which we live. But God, was saying most of the world doesn't know about the cup. (Mat. 20:22)

Commercialism is everywhere. Word spreads so fast. As I stood in line I ask the Barista if they had any "Red Cups" left. "Only about 20" she answered. The girl in front of me said, "Red cup?". I shared with her the deal. She got the "Red cup", smiled at me and said, "Thank you, I didn't know." I shared my knowledge with her about the "Red cup". It was that easy. She bought it. She made the choice. It cost her.
What if sharing Jesus Christ was as easy? It is. We've got the greatest news in the world. Through one man sharing with twelve it caught on all over the known world. Times have changed but Jesus is the same.

ACTION STEP: Get out there and share the "Good News" it's the best "Red Cup" deal in the world. The great exchange. His righteousness for our sins. Eternal life rather than hell. "I'll take it!"
