We noticed that this whole gaping-mouth thing was consistent with all of the crocs we discovered on the shores of the great river. Seriously, they were all sunbathing with their massive mandibles wide open. Here are a couple of fun facts: they regulate body temperature because they are cold-blooded reptiles. But there is a less known advantage of keeping their jaws ajar for extended periods. Tsetse flies can fly in and clean the croc’s choppers.
Yep. After supper, tsetse flies like to munch on the rotting flesh left behind in the Big Boy’s teeth. Seems they have a thing for eating rotting meat, and the practice is actually doing the crocodile a favor. Dental floss with a creepy-crawly flair!
And then, we were told that the ol’ boy has the audacity to actually eat the Tsetse flies when they’re finished doing him a favor! A mini-snack with very few calories.
That’s not fair. How rude.
Folks, sometimes you and I are not going to figure things out. Not going to be able to understand people’s behavior. Some things will just never make sense. Not God. Not church people. Not life. And, to be fair, others will simply not be able to figure me and you out either. They think we are off-point, blind, crazy, rude, or misguided.
Some things are just odd. They cannot be labeled, categorized, or comprehended.
If you want to keep your sanity and live in some form of harmony with others, consider embracing the liberating principle of acceptance. Accept the fact that you are not on everyone’s playlist. And, do your best to be kind, even when others are not. Display patience, even when others choose to be rude. Trust God, even when He makes very little sense.
