Less Nosey


Every glance in the mirror now reveals a more streamlined, symmetrical appearance. It is not my physique (that’s another story) but my nose. You could not technically call it a “nose job” but I did have a mole removed. The doctor took one look at that bump growing on the right side of my nose and said I should be "less nosey", well, sort of.

The laser procedure itself was virtually painless and lasted approximately five minutes. The pain from the bill will last longer. The good news is I did not have any malignancy. Although it cost a little time and money, the preventative measure was nothing compared to the cost and pain associated with letting it grow into something more serious.

Sin is like that. If we keep short lists with God, repenting and going to Him for forgiveness the moment we sense the conviction of the Holy Spirit, the little things do not grow into bigger things. The moral of the story is simple: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
