Keep Your Nose to Yourself

Drudge offered up a news item about a doctor publicly criticizing Michael Phelps because his name will appear on boxes of Frosted Flakes and Corn Flakes. Her shorts are in a king-size wad as she ranted about what he should do instead–according to her lights. She suggested, for one possibility, he might endorse oatmeal. Riiight!

Here’s my suggestion to the good doctor: If you want to dictate what an Olympic Gold Medal winner should do, first go win the medal. That will earn you the right to represent it as you choose.

How does this kerfuffle relate to Christianity? St. Paul, writing to the church at Thessalonica (in eastern Greece) chastises people for “. . . being busy with other people’s affairs instead of their own . . .”

As usual, Paul says a lot of good stuff in that letter. Check it out.
