It’s the middle of summer and I am sitting in my front yard. It is early in the morning and the light of day has risen. It is a beautiful day and a great day for talking with and praising the Lord. AsIlookaroundIseeallofHismajesticwondermentinthegrass,inthe trees, through the birds, squirrels, and other animals. I am blessed that I haven’t seen any snakes and I am praying that I don’t. I certainly don’t want tobelikeEveintheGardenofEdenandhavingaconversationwithany serpents.
