Flies....Ewww....Gross

Dear God,
What is the purpose of flies? They are all over the place in our house these days. One just zoomed right by my face as I was writing this about FLIES. I think he licked my nose with his fly tongue as he flew by me......Gross.

I hate to say this, but I killed 10 of those little boogers yesterday with a fly swatter. I even made it a counting game (1-10) and refused to leave the kitchen until I reached the number "10". I DID reach "10" with no problem.

Is it wrong to kill flies? Some religions say that it IS. Animals were sacrificed in the bible and they were a lot more valuable than a fly. People ate meat (quail, calf, fish). In order to eat these things, they had to be killed first.

I think it is OK to kill flies.

Love,
Me:)

As dead flies give perfume a bad smell,
    so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.
