Oh how I know that smell I operated a stand and the people who had it before allowed ice cream to melt in a cooler and never cleaned it out.  And when I inharrided the stand there was that nasty stinky cooler I on my own had to clean.  I have a strong stomach and nothing makes me sick.  But I have admit I came pretty close a few times.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is

> With a houseful of teens, it would totally frighten you to know how much
> milk I have to buy in a week. Let's just say that sometimes it takes two
> or three of us to push the cart. When you buy so many gallons at a time,
> one of them is bound to get missed somewhere along the way. That
> "somewhere along the way" happened at exactly the wrong time of the
> year. A few months ago we had loaded about eight gallons of milk into
> the car, but never noticed that only seven made it into the house. That
> lost gallon was in the floor of the minivan under the last seat, lurking
> and plotting its evil attack.
> 
> It was in the hottest days of summer and, of all times for the minivan
> to need a repair or two, that happened to be the week we had to put it
> in the shop. Three days in the shop. Three days of temperatures over a
> hundred degrees. The milk swelled up and- horror of horrors- exploded
> all over the car! Oh, the humanity. It lobbed milk shrapnel all over the
> entire back seat. Milk? No, maybe it was closer to CHEESE. And the
> smell! It was something like a barf-and-old-socks combo, with cabbage.
> It made its way into every single nook and cranny of the vehicle. The
> milk/cheese cleanup was nothing compared to the stench fallout we had to
> deal with for weeks. My eyes are watering just thinking about it. Oh
> well, there's no use in crying over spilled cheese.

> There's a certain cool driving look. All the windows are down, the left
> elbow edges just outside the window; the right hand hangs casually over
> the steering wheel. Of course, it's not nearly as cool when you're in a
> MINIVAN. But we still got plenty of chances to get the cool look down.
> We're talking about a lot of time riding with the windows down.

> Taking care of sin issues in our lives is even more important than
> taking every gallon of milk inside the house. When left to simmer, they

> God is so gracious and forgiving when we confess even the biggest sin

> grace! Huge in mercy- wipe out my bad record. Scrub away my guilt, soak
> out my sins in your laundry." (TM) Nope, holding onto sin is definitely
> not cool. Letting Him scrub away that stench is glorious- it's better
> even than that new car smell! Now that's cool!

> As for us, we're still exercising a lot of "coolness" riding with the
