“What are you doing?” my pastor
asked his secretary, with astonishment in his voice, when he saw her shaking up
her two liter bottle of Mountain Dew.
“This keeps the remaining pop
from going flat.” She matter of factually replied.
“Shaking it makes it go flat
faster. You are shaking the fizz out of
it. I should know I have a degree in
fizziology.” She stood by her opinion
despite my pastor’s impressive credentials.
I have my opinion on the matter,
too. But I won’t tell you that I agreed with my pastor on this matter of
supreme insignificance. I hold to the theory that one gently squeezes as much
air out of the bottle, screws the lid on tightly and returns it to the fridge.
This keeps the fizz in the pop. I like
to think that I am right on this matter.
I have opinions on things that
don’t really matter much, really.
However, if my opinion disagrees with God, then I have a problem. Then I
have to rethink the situation, and change my opinion to agree with God. Doing right in my own eyes doesn’t work here.
“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth
unto counsel is wise.” Proverbs 12:15.
