As the old French proverbs states:
"Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose."
"The more things change, the more they stay the same."
This proverb is supposed to be a critical commentary, satirizing improvements as the "Same Old, Same Old". The photo above is from my favorite Wawa on the planet. Here you can see the New & Improved Coffee Distribution System (CDS). What a great change, BUT the coffee stayed the same! In this case the Same Old, Same Old is just what I wanted. I mean. Look at all those Coffee Urns ....
If we can maintain the Fundamental Quality of the product, and improve the look, efficacy & practicality of the means by which it is delivered then everyone wins. Let me get to some preachin': Too many churches have been watering down the message of the Bible for so long and then simply distribute their sub-standard product in new pots. The congregation is so enamored by the fancy urns that it doesn't realize that the coffee in weak. But if a Church has the Strong Gospel Message, and is looking for a more efficient and practical way it getting that message out, then "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose."
Chuck (CDS)
Amen to that!
