One week after moving into our new home, my wife became concerned with a new revelation. She had been out on our deck, enjoying a sunny spring day, when a pipe sticking three feet out of the ground began to spew bubbles. My reply? “Oh, it’s no big deal.”
Ever notice, when folks have a problem on their hands, they often do not realize it? Or they minimize the problem, so they do not have to address it?
Amo 4:10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses; and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith Jehovah.
The children of Israel had a stench problem. The scripture tells us, that even their nostrils noticed it. Yes, the problem was noticed, but what was done about it? It was ignored.
Speaking shamefully about my own sex, we men are kind of funny when it comes to a stench. Nearly every guy when confronted about possible body odor, has lifted his arm… and yes… took a whiff! “Nah, I smell fine”, he will say and onward he will go. Even if we notice a bit of odor, we will just try to spray deodorant on the problem and go about our business, rather than take the time to shower and solve the problem properly.

I pretty much think that Christians will always have a personal stench problem as long as they live in the flesh.
Anyway...as I was reading that article, I found myself wanting to know just how and why someone could buy a home without having the plumbing inspected!!
I wanted those details!! Why was the sewage emptying into the yard!
He just needs to pump his septic tank. Or he can continue to ignore it and replace the whole septic field.
Funny thing on the septic.... virtually empty tank. Something had blocked the pipe leading to the septic letting very little through. A lil snaking and life was good again.
Some septic tanks have pre-filters now.
If you have one with it you need to be even more careful of what you put in it .
If your body didn’t make it and it isn’t regular Scott’s don’t let it go down :)
Powder laundry detergent isn’t so hot for septic tanks either as it can really gum up the filter .
