Last Wednesday night, Mrs. Roughrider and I along with a few church people were working our children's ministry. She had told the story of Elijah going to heaven in a whirlwind. She had prepared a cut out Elijah and attached him to a helium balloon and was taking it outside so they could watch him ascend.She opened the basement door and in crawled a small 10 inch copperhead snake. The ladies scattered and Mrs. Roughrider, still wearing workbooks, proceeded to stomp it to death.Me? I had left to go upstairs and heard about it afterwards. Needless to say, I have spread a significant amount of snake repellant around the church
