I. Cracker Barrel Crackup! (The Eyes of Faith!™ 2025-08-23 #40)
II. News:
i. Cracker Barrel updated the logo, as the joke goes, they removed both the cracker and the barrel.
ii. Just words, no image.
iii. Big splash in blogosphere, social media, online pundits.
iv. Company lost stock value
III. So what did you think?
i. So another Dylan Mulvaney and Bud Light moment?
ii. Updating logos happens all the time. Starbuck's has a funny history. As a kid BSA updated theirs, more streamlined like Star Trek motion picture logos. TSR hobbies logo, Procter and Gamble logo, and satanism.
iii. Themed logos for holidays, LGBTQ activism (ear from Georgie Flloyd to Daniel Penny)
iv. What did you think?
IV. My 2¢
i. It's not on my radar. I'm approaching retirement age. Parents are in their 80s. Inflation is eating me alike, like mutated piranhas.
ii. I understand people see things differently, but this is a nothingburgersupreme .
V. Eyes of Faith
i. Prioritization
1. Faith, Family, Freedom, and Fun are priorities. Time management and money management are priorities. Confronting incremental, decentralized evil is a priority.
2. But this is not one. No moral aspect to this change.
ii. Decoy Effect
1. John Taylor, "And it is a trick of the devil to decoy and destroy, to divide and disrupt, and to lead men down to perdition." (JD 20:261)
2. Life is short Choose your battles: You have limited time and energy. Save it for something better. This isn't the hill to die on.
3. Think about the opportunity cost of getting wound up about this non-moral issue. Getting decoyed away from more important things.
iii. Rest of the Lord
1. Doctrine.
a. Hean, ultimate rest
b. JFS ch 48
i. "What does it mean to enter into the rest of the Lord? ... it means that through the love of God I have been won over to Him, so that I can feel at rest in Christ, that I may no more be disturbed by every wind of doctrine, by the cunning and craftiness of men, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; and that I am established in the knowledge and testimony of Jesus Christ, so that no power can turn me aside from the straight and narrow path that leads back into the presence of God, to enjoy exaltation in His glorious kingdom; that from this time henceforth I shall enjoy that rest until I shall rest with Him in the heavens."
iv. Outrage industrial complex, anger is anti-spirit, anti-Christ. Opt out of outrage.
VI. That's the passing scene, seen with the eyes of faith.
