Earlier this morning I posed the question on Facebook if people use deodorant because we're "born dead in trespasses and sins" and like Country Joe's Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road, we're "stinkin' to high, high Heaven!!" Didja ever wonder what was on the skunk's mind when he started out across the blacktop? Did the black road with the white stripe down the middle look like Skunk Almighty to the critter with poor eyesight? Just WHAT was the Lord thinkin' about when He created that particular perfume that comes out of the back end of Pepi Le Pew?!! ;pWhat is it in tomato juice that washes out the smell when your puppy decides that curiosity is better than discretion when he/she contacts the "swamp kitty" for the first time? Is there a metaphysical picture of us being the stinkin' skunks in God's nostrils that can only be cleansed by the red, viscous fluid known as Christ's Blood?
Does this pondering count as a semi-early morning epiphany as I've got "Dead Skunk" as sung by Loudon Wainwright III cranked on You Tube? If you want a good listen, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UejelYnVI3U and crank that country western UP!! Gee, maybe we could incorporate this tune in the Stonewalled Charismatic Presbyterian Hymnal under the Total Depravity section??!!
Got tomato juice?
