Paula and I are walking down a narrow trail which has thick vegetation on both sides. Our dog, Missy, (so called because she’s from Mississippi), is smelling both sides of the trail. She pokes her head into the thicket and immediately rebounds in horror. A young skunk struts out behind her, obviously put out of his hiding place. At the same time, a pungent odor reaches our noses. This is not going to be a good evening.
Did you ever stick your nose where it didn’t belong? Yes, we’ve all experienced that at one time or another. Did you know the Bible warns of such happenings?
And to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,
Whoever meddles in a quarrel not his own is like one who takes a passing dog by the ears.
Make sure you don’t stick your nose where it doesn’t belong, for you too could raise a real stink.
Give it some thought.
