All I heard was a woman say, "I'm trying hard not to scream."

I replied, "What?"

She said, "I'm trying VERY hard not to scream right now."

Once again, I said, "Come again mam?"

She then said, "There is a snake in the Church!"

I tried to gather who she was and finally figured out it was the secretary at my church. She was so excited she couldn't tell me any more than that....lol. I quickly drove over there and the Minister of Music told me where he had seen the snake upstairs near the door to a storage room filled with cardboard that is often used for vacation Bible school. It took me about 5 minutes to locate the monster. He said it was about 4' and the size of his wrist. It was more like 32" and the size of a medium man's middle finger. Anyway, glad I could save the little guy. Thought you guys might like to hear it.

oh, yeah.....I forgot to say what it was! Silly me..........it was a gray rat snake.

LOL Matt Ive been there before. In the city where I lived I would go out when the police recieved a "snake call" LOL They will face bad guys with a gun but a little ole snake will have them shakin in thier boots.

I get a call from my mom all the time about a "copperhead", but it never is. Once it was a worm snake, and another time it was a dekay's brown snake. Everybody around here thinks everything is a copperhead. LOL! Derek
