Once again, I have gotten myself into trouble. I hate sissy-smelling shower soap. So I found this soap at Lowe’s that smells very manly. But the bar is too big, and the soap is too expensive. So, I got this bright idea: why not make my own soap? So I did! I bought this pre-made cold process melting soap (with mango Nectaire, shea butter and coconut butter) and found a manly fragrance. I melted the soap in the microwave, added the “oak barrel” fragrance, and poured it into silicone molds. Now I have good-smelling manly soap in the right size at a great price. But yesterday, I began to have misgivings about my soap. Think a minute. What is made in “oak barrels”? Whiskey! But since I am a good Baptist, I don’t know what whiskey smells like. Now I am afraid that my manly fragrance leaves me smelling like I have been drinking whiskey. Oh, well … Paul said in I Thessalonians 5:22, “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” Did he also mean to abstain from smelling like evil? And to find out what whiskey smells like, should I buy some? I don’t think so. Refer to the verse above. So, again, oh well …
