Quiznos vs Subway

Alrighty...so hopefully you have all tasted Quiznos by now...and HOPEFULLY Subway as well. How do I begin this? Well, it all started when I saw those annoying Quiznos commercials that seemed more repulsive then captivating. You know the ones with the funky mouths moving. Well, I was watching Ellen and she was giving away Quiznos to Katrina victims to franchise which I thought was neat. On another episode they brought out Quiznos for the whole audience and I must admit, it was love at first sight. I decided to scurry on down to Quiznos after class last year and well...the rest is history. I have banned Subways and declared my love and dedication to Quiznos. The flavor, variety, soups, pink lemonade and cookies not only kick but DROP KICK Subway in the booty.
Well, today, after working out, I decided, I'll eat something healthy. I looked down what I like to call Fast Food Lane aka Aramingo Ave. and saw nothing but greasy McDonald's, KFC, Boston Market, Wendy's, Taco Bell, Burger King, Domino s Pizza and Dunkin' Donuts. Behold I looked to the left and I saw Subway. Grimacing, I decided to give Subway the benefit of the doubt. And so I made my achy little way over there and ordered something not so spectacular because everything there is so blah. I asked the soup...they said minestrone. First off the girl didn't even know what the soup was...BIG MISTAKE. Quizno's customer service has been spectacular everywhere I've gone and all of the employees have been knowledgeable of all products. This was so not the case with Subway. So I bit into my sandwich and it was dry, boring and yuck. I regretted walking in there the minute I bit into that sorry excuse of a sub. I felt like I had not only betrayed Quiznos but it was not worth the money I spent.
So everyone who has ears let them hear...or rather read...QUIZNOS is the way to go, not Subways. They deserve to be located under a subway where nobody could find them IMO. :o\

On a serious note...even though I was dead serious about my disappointment, I will say this...Philadelphia needs prayer. I was on the subway today (the one you ride not the one you eat when there's no Quiznos around) and I just saw nothing but homosexuality, bootlegging, hustling and hopelessness. As the lights of dimly lit buildings bounced off of the subway I could see ADULT MOVIE signs and CHINESE RESTAURANTS...stuff to keep the poor in poverty. It's such a redundant cycle that it's scary. Please keep Philly in prayer. There's much deception here. The only thing people have pride in here is sports (the Eagles) and Rocky...and I'm not exaggerating. Pray the Spirit of God will manifest in this city and pulverize the darkness.

Nina, your commentary on your journey to Subway was so much like what I'm learing about here at Hillsong...(Check me out at www.LisetteMarie.com)
So often we settle for 2nd best, we give in to things that look good but are not God's #1 best - just becasue we aren't willing to go the extra mile or wait or pass up the 'good' option. Let this be a spiritual lesson - don't settle.
