What did they ever do to me? Nothing. They have never bit me or tried to choke me or swallow me. I have never touched one. What have they done to me? Nothing.
Yet I fear them. I am so afraid of them that I feel a hatred. Yet they have done nothing to me. It doesn't even seem fair.
What am I talking about?
Snakes.
The other day I worked at a lady's house and she warned me about this big water moccasin [see picture above] that evidently has a habit of sunning along the side of her house. Well I had to go back and forth from the street to the back of her house at least ten times. Let me tell you, I was very careful about where I stepped.
But seriously, I do think it odd and unfair that I have a revulsion for something that has never done me wrong. I expect better of myself than that. If I treat snakes that unfairly, are their other groups of people that I may have unfair attitudes towards? I hope not.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good. And watch where you step!!!
