Broccoli

This headline caught my eye: The foods that make you smell more, according to science.

Now this is not our major problem regarding the embarrassment scale. The overriding humiliation that is produced by us comes from our speech and not our body. Our words make us more or less attractive.

The Apostle Paul is a case in point:

Acts 20:36-38

And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the ship.

My prayer is that when I depart, people will miss me for my words and not the way I smell. But as many of you know, I do hope that the offending foods are broccoli and raisins, which I would gladly keep out of my diet.

Give it some thought.
