111 Robust is a Cool Word (Lev 21)

I am feeling remarkably robust today.
The accountant guy at work said that he needed to get "robust" at Telstra the other day.
It was the second day in three that we had no internet, no email, nothing.
His robustness was infectious.
Partly due to the fact it is such a cool word to be.
Robust.
There, I said it again.
You just don't hear words like robust these days.
Anyway back to me.
I'm robust, with a but.
Of course I've got a but.
A different but.
Cheeky. ;)
But, settle, I can't shake this cough.
Sticky-throat-annoying-everybody-happen-at-the-worst-moment cough.
Apart from that, I am robust.
Now I can't say it without giggling.
Robust. (giggle)
See.

Leviticus 21
Ok, so the priests are being instructed to remain pure.
They stand in the gap between the people, their offerings and God.
They set the standard.
They are the closest some of the people would get to interacting with God.
Image mattered.
Standards mattered more.
I guess that's where I need to be careful.
It's not about how they "appeared" to be. Image will only get you so far.
They had to be strict in their behaviour.
They had to not just explain the law.
They had to enact it.
To the letter.
Totally.
So they could be effective in their duty before God.
The last time they got it wrong, people died.
I'm sure God is jolly and fun-loving, but there are some things you don't mess with Him.
This was a biggie.
