Charles was walking through the forest when he met a man who was going the other way.  The man was carrying a dead rabbit, a dead raccoon and the dead Fox.  Now you gotta understand they weren’t just dead they were rotten.  The stench finally caught up with Charles’s his nose.

They were to passed by each other far too close to avoid or ignore.  So Charles was first to say, “Hey neighbor how’s it going?”   The reply was cordial enough, but there was a sadness in a man’s voice. 

Charles was curious.  Before he could stop himself he found his lips blurting out, “what’s with the dead critters?”

The man’s fuzzy eyes focused on Charles’s face.  “I’m sorry I killed em so I just pack them around to remind me.”   Charles would tell you he was stunned by that remark.

Charles couldn’t speak he just looked at the man in amazement.  Sensing the conversation was over, the other man just walked away.

You think that’s a stupid story?  Well how many people do you know carry their sins with them?  They walk around well enough but they’re carrying the stench of death everywhere they go.

BELIEVE!  GET FORGIVEN!  GET OVER IT, FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST!
