Have you ever had serious second thoughts about something? Of course, I usually have severe trouble with establishing first thoughts. But once I have finished a serious thought I like put it behind me and go on with life.

tree-wanna-be be good for a person? 

The first and last broccoli I have ever eaten took me three days to
chew. Then, I had to brush my teeth for a week to get it all out from 
between my teeth. 

Now that I have become older, I have begun to rethink certain things in
life. One has to do with the functional aspect of wearing suspenders. 
One unfortunate episode in the public mall was enough for me. 

And the other has to do with broccoli. Maybe, just maybe, I have been
too harsh concerning what some people call a wonderful vegetable. 
Maybe, if I give it some further thought, I might discover that 
broccoli is not half as bad as I thought it was. 

It just could be that all these years those people bragging on the
marvelous benefits of broccoli were right. 

Just as I was polishing up this second thought about broccoli to present
it to my wife, I saw a newspaper article that said, "Tainted broccoli 
spurs big recall in West." 

I knew it. I knew that broccoli; in whatever form you want to cook it,
is tainted. 

Second thoughts can certainly be dangerous. I took this second thought
about broccoli, threw it away and enthusiastically embraced my first 
thought and now broccoli is history with me. 

The Bible warns us to be careful about what we think. "Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, 
whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever 
things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be 
any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things" 
(Philippians 4:8 KJV). 

I have more important things to think about than broccoli.
