I did some volunteer work today and part of it was separating swine meat from bones and fat. I did not eat the stuff, but I noted as I worked over it that it had a horrible smell. While people were saying it smelled delicious, I was trying not to breath the odor.
I thought of how the prodigal son must have felt working with swine directly. In my case I didn't do it because I'd gone prodigal, but because I volunteered to help out an elderly lady clean and cook for a bunch of people
I tried not to get the grease on me, but it happened twice, and even that felt gross. It looked gross, all of it. I immediately washed.
I know some people might not even touch it, but in this case I was doing work for someone else that I said I'd do. My policy is just do not consume it. Pork swine is truly a nasty thing.
I'm thankful about my commitment a few years ago not to eat it at all. I used to eat it on occasion, and it amazes me how many Christians will eat the cooked sow.
