Creepie-Crawlies

Amy Carmichael once said: "If one is preparing to storm the bastions of heathendom, it will not do to blench at creepie-crawlies." I'd say I have done pretty well dealing with the gigantic roaches and lizards. I think I am winning the battle with the misquitoes...I'd even give myself a pat on the back for checking all corners of my house only once every night after finding a snake in the backyard. But I have new visitors now, and quite frankly I am not too fond of them. RATS! After doing my nightly checks for the boogieman, I found these little friends welcoming theirselves in.

There is no escaping the reality. So what is the conclusion? Deal with it by acting upon it. We are going to have to deal with it when Jesus askes us if we are a sheep or goat. If we fed His people or not. So let us start now... Me and you together. Do not have contractors install better windows so you can tune out all the noise.
