I don’t care what it is, you don’t want it running up your pants leg. My dad had a skink (a harmless, speedy little lizard) run up inside his pants leg and that was a hoot, though no fun for Dad.

I jumped onto a chair while his feet remained on the ground. Oh well - so much for only talking the gospel and not walking it. Right? Every believer fights fear and worry in his life. I guarantee it. If we don't fight it in one arena, we will in another. (Mice and rats - yipes!) Let me say one thing about the church: You and I are the church. It's not a building or an organization. It is a living organism. And at some point, the church (me) will hurt when people like you hurt. But because I (the church) am not there yet, I can only ask your forgiveness and hope to more sensitive in the future.
