Wide Open Graces
"By entering through faith into what God has always wanted to do for us- set us right with him, make us fit for him- we have it all together with God because of our Master Jesus. And that's not all; We throw open our doors to God and discover at the same moment that he has already thrown open his doors to us. We find ourselves standing where we always hoped we might stand- out in the wide open spaces of God's grace and glory, standing tall and shouting praise."
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine
Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character that's different at the end than it was in the beginning.

Denise, you're awesome! Seriously..making me laugh. I too would have freaked out about the spider, but I had to laugh when you said a mouse almost killed you. Like I said, you're awesome & I love reading your blog!
Are you living in an episode of Wild Kingdom? I've never heard of so many critters in one household's life! I'd definitely move!
Snakes... why did it have to be snakes?? I cringe at the thought!! You can't trust a creature that slithers! Happy Mother's Day!
I am assuming by your precise post that the rattlesnake was killed and the gopher snake wasn't?
That's a good thing..Gopher snakes (aka Bull Snakes) do a tremendous job of eating rats and mice and all sorts of little vermin.
Unfotunately, they are big and snakey and for the Denise Jones that I know, are probably a little scary.
We need a photo of the snake!!
My boys just found a dead rat in our backyard. I'd rather have a dead rat...sorry.
There would be no question in my mind - I would have already put the for sale sign in the yard and rented an apartment.
Your all so funny! i forgot to mention there was a bobcat here yesterday as well. uh huh, just trying to get a bit more sympathy :-)
What in the world? Is this normal?
ick about the rattlesnake. any other snake would be fine, i think.
we found black widows awhile back in the yard...ex.term.in.a.tor!
My first stop by...
This post made me laugh. Not the rattlesnake part but the part where you said that you may have to move. We live in rattlesnake country and just yesterday I was walking with my girlfriend (our morning routine) and we saw a dead king snake in the road.
That was it! She pretty much had her kitchen, master bedroom and garage all packed up.
Blessings, Joanne
