never would've thought...

Four years in Thailand...tropical, muggy, and loaded with all kinds of pit vipers, cobras, and the like. We move to Florida, tropical, muggy and loaded with alligators, snakes and the like. Yesterday, one of those snakes somehow made its way into MY home! NEVER in four years did we EVER have a snake in our home in Thailand...outside, yes, but not INside! And after one month in our new home here, we have a snake. Is God trying to prepare me for what's ahead in our missionary career? O boy...here we go!

PS: It was only a baby snake and non-poisonous but he was very feisty...so feisty Paul didn't want to keep him around! Can you believe that?! With this, the learning continues!

Snakes follow Paul whereever he goes, it seems! Yikes!

Wow. Glad you are learning. Though no matter how many insects and moths came in my Asheville apartment, I still didn't like the ones I encountered in Thailand!

I can not believe there is snake the Paul did not want to keep around. Oh, we have been in our house 3 years and only have only seen 3 snakes outside. I am not sure what I would do if we ever found one inside.
