Oatmeal Cookies and Ophidophobia

Filed under: General — Posted by Jami Leigh at 3:49 pm on Monday, May 21, 2007

My on ramp to the information super highway is still blocked off. I’m still not here. I also still don’t have anything to say but I can’t stand the thought of a rattle snake picture topping this page any longer. Speaking of rattle snakes my bare little toe came two inches away from stepping on one yesterday. That time I did scream like a little girl. The first little snake was a baby and I keep kicking my self for not killing it. I was too scared. I had a half intention of killing the giant one yesterday but by the time I got some real shoes on and a shovel I couldn’t find it anymore. I’m not sure I could have build up the nerve anyway. I don’t know maybe, you’d be surprised what a mommy will do when a rattle snake is after her baby. . .No it was pretty big and my babies weren’t anywhere near it. But they could have been…hmm this mama needs a little bit more courage.

Anyone out have any encouraging, affirming, exhorting, wise words about fear/courage?
Or if you don’t have any of that do you have a good Oatmeal cookie recipe, I’d love one of those too. After all oatmeal cookies are sure to calm a case of ophidiophobia.

Oh come on… surely you’re Army Strong enough to take on a baby rattle snake… Aren’t ya?

Of course you are. Your strength comes from the Lord! {And maybe some cookies… Cause the Joy of the Lord is your strength… and if you had cookies… I bet you’d be rejoicing.}

Amy,
You are behaving in a totally Biblical manner. Genesis tells us that God put enmity between the woman & the snake. …. Therefore, I hate snakes, cuz the Bible tells me to. hehe
