if it looks like a skunk....

O.k. I know.....I sound like Dr. Laura, Dr. Phil, or the beloved Oprah....but sometimes they are right and that is all there is to it.

In short, if it looks like a skunk then by golly it probably is a skunk. But some women don't seem to get it. They think if they just have a chance they can change that stinky skunk into a mink. It might work for a moment or two. And then.....

Then.....

He eventually lifts up his tail and sprays, and all that is left is the stink, the stinky, horrible, odoriferous mess. And then....

Then.....

Her utter surprise, shock, dismay, outrage, despair, heartbreak.....

"I thought he would change." "I thought things would be better."

The moral of the story:

If you are married to a skunk.....don't be surprised when he lifts his tail and sprays his stench. You can't change a skunk.....not now.....not any how!

And don't kid yourself. You have known for quite some time that you have been living with a skunk.

Caught by a skunk? Please know my friend, you are still loved and you still have a chance to make the right decisions for your life. Have courage and hope to do the right thing.

May the peace of Christ be with you.
