people who "stinketh"


So, for some time now, I’ve been pondering writing about people who “stinketh,” taking the stinketh from John 11 when Jesus goes to raise Lazarus from the dead. Martha is appalled at the thought and says, “but Lord, he stinketh!” Jesus goes regardless of the stench and raises Lazarus from the dead. He raises him, creating a miracle out of the rot that lazarus had become. So, as I was thinking a bout this idea, the people who metaphorically, “stinketh” I believe this will be the subject of this blog—me being the ultimate stinker—the stinker at the top of the list, of course. For any reader who may perchance to stumble across this blog, please scold me if I patronize people. I periodically need someone to say, “Hannah, I’m not a dog. Stop patting me on the head.”
By the way, it is my firm opinion that all people “stinketh”, and that most have been/were dead for much more than four days. Some may be dry, dusty bones right now. Fortunately for us, Jesus has the power to raise us from our smelly states—so when I say people who stinketh, what I really mean is people in general--ALL people! So, if I write about you … uuuhhhmmmm … Susie (no worries, i won't use your real name, Dick.) … please take it as an absolute compliment, a form of endearment because you must have taught me something of great importance.
