Home, Sweat, Home – Wearing the Jesus Perfume?

Home, Sweat, Home – Wearing the Jesus Perfume?

One thing about Nancy Campbell of Above Rubies is that she’s not entirely boring in her repetition of Quiverfull ideas. She comes up with newer, stranger ideas all the time. Her latest one involves how your house smells. Home, sweat, homeΒ  wearing the Jesus perfume.

I wonder how Nancy picks her odder subjects? Does she write a bunch of random words on a sheet of paper and toss a safety pin at it, writing about whatever the safety pin points to? True story, I know someone that decided what country to go to on a mission trip using the safety pin and map method.

Nancy starts off talking about literal smells, the smells of sweat, body odor, cooking smells, mold, dirty laundry or whatever you can dream up that happens in the home. Normal, normal, normal things that perfume does not a gosh darn thing for except make it smell like you went to the bathroom in a patch of roses and tulips.

Oh, so she’s talking about smells like grumpiness or a bad attitude, you say! Remind me again what those actually literally smell like? Nothing.

The aroma of faith smells actually literally like nothing as well.

Dear Nancy, drop the very bad analogies and stick to actualities. The only thing I’m smelling here is that which emerges from the bull’s rear end! Handing Nancy some Glade.

Just another attempt by Nancy Campbell to keep her followers denying their own emotions and feelings while toeing the line of conformity.
