Sprayed for Mosquitoes, Killed the Rats

I heard that in Borneo they sprayed poison to get rid of the mosquitoes. It killed mosquitoes, but also poisoned the flies. The lizards ate the flies. The cats ate the lizards, which killed the cats. When the cats died, the rats multiplied unchecked, so much so that they had to parachute in crates of cats to kill the rats. The point? Sinful words and actions don't just affect the people we are with at the time. They poison others down the line. As the bible says, the sins of one generation affect future generations. (From the collection of Barry St. Clair)

Women Need to Speak More Than Men
