Spam I Am

As a child, I became enamored with Dr. Seuss at an early age.  The advent of television brought his books to life, especially the Christmas classic The Grinch Who Stole Christmas.  Now as an adult, a new project comes to mind, how to eliminate spam from the internet.  Yet, for today, Spam I am.

Thanks to Google Translate, I am able to decipher spam written in German, French and Spanish from my bi-lingual audience.  Despite taking 4 years of French and 3 in Spanish, I still need to rely on this site to insure I am interpreting each comment accurately.  However, spam has recently overrun my email account, like bacteria attacking internal organs.  Like pop up ads on commercial websites, these images tempt one to indulge their curious nature.

If you seek to please God as the apostle Paul urges the church in 1 Thessalonians 4:3-5, spam needs to be monitored closely.  When you do your do diligence, organizing your life properly, God can place a lock and key on these unwanted messages.  On the flip side, if you are careless, this can open the door, leaving a foot hold for the devil, Ephesians 4:26.  One can, two can, 3 spam cans, don’t ease up or you might be Spam I am.
