Three Boys and a Snake

 July 10

 At Boy Scout camp, two boys and I confront a dull brown and red snake with a vibrating tail.  One boy pins the snake with a stick. The other boy grabs it and put it inside a flimsy cupcake box. In a flash the snake springs out of the box, slithered over a bare knee to the ground and escapes. A bugle sounds and three tenderfoot scouts run off to a parade field.    .

 Angels were looking after three boys that Sunday when that poisonous Timber Rattlesnake chose to get away rather than get even.

 

" He will give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways."(Psalm 91:11)
