"Would you like insurance on your new cell phone?" asked Chris, the sales guy.
Hmmm...I pondered the question. Since I was strolling in with an aging phone that was baptized by our washing machine, I was about to agree when Chris added, "The insurance covers any unforseen damage to the phone like water or being baked."
Baked? Did he just say baked?
Yes, sure enough. Chris went on to relay the account of a pleasant lady who brought in her iPhone to him. Apparently she was baking cookies and her delicate piece of technology slid onto a corner of the pan without her noticing. A few minutes later black smoke and a really weird smell was coming from her oven.
"She let me take a picture of it," Chris continued. He showed me. It looked like a small black plastic cake. I've heard of 4G before, but not 400 degrees!
After going with the insurance (how could I say "no"), the thought of the smell stuck with me. How are you and I smelling these days?
II Cor. 2:14-16 reminds us -- "Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task?"
