VARMINTS

There was a varmint attack at our house on Sunday morning. It came without warning and we never saw the varmint. The road yard men were out and working by 6 a.m., plowing the snow, and I think they must have awaken the smelly skunk. I have been teasing the guys about keeping the skunk for a mascot. None of our animals were sprayed, but I am guessing our back door must have gotten it, and the stench accumulated inside the house. We made it to church with some of the smell still clinging to our garments. When we got home we opened all the doors and windows and changed the air inside the house. Now the smell is gone except for a faint smell around the back door. I am thinking about phoning a neighbor boy to take care of the "situation".

In our lives, sometimes we get attacked with stinking things - fear, distractions, lies, disasters, dirt, and more that try to pollute us and turn us from the right way of living for God. God's Word is both protection and cleansing from such attacks.
Philippians 4:8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.
