Tuesday's Bible Reading: Leviticus 16-18; Proverbs 18:1-12

Fat Tuesday. An occasion to indulge the sinful nature by consuming fat, not atone for sin by burning fat, as in today's reading.

[Aaron] shall bathe himself with water in a holy place and put on his regular garments. Then he shall come out and sacrifice the burnt offering for himself and the burnt offering for the people, to make atonement for himself and for the people. He shall also burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar. —Leviticus 16:24-25

The priest is to sprinkle the blood against the altar of the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and burn the fat as an aroma pleasing to the LORD. —Leviticus 17:6

On a "lighter" note, the employees at Zondervan got an early start on Fat Tuesday. When a suspicious package was opened there yesterday, employees were evacuated and taken across the street to the offices of Krispy Kreme for possible treatment. Christianity Today

The contents of the suspicious package has been identified as dirt. WoodTV

Possible explanation:
It's been a long winter here in Michigan. People have forgotten what dirt smells like.
