Being Aroma In That Smell America

As I sat here studying I continually catch the faint hint of the Easter Lilly sitting on our table.  Thinking a lot these days of the courage it takes to follow Christ in America.  I would never have believed the tide of common acceptance of Christ as vitreous would turn so quickly to strong opposition.  At the current rate it is not improbable to believe that Christ following will soon be dangerous in America.  Smell is the greatest memory trigger and the aroma of Christ, though sweet, can often trigger hate.  Reminds me of the old Lynyrd Skynyrd song That Smell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDB-yswOrzc


However, regardless of the consequences, “let's not get tired of doing what is good”, allowing the aroma of Christ to overwhelm That Smell, “For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing.”

Lynyrd Skynyrd,
my favorite group when
I was young.
