Snake skin shoes from Macy's would be a better choice..... or the glass slippers!

I used to have some grey eel skin boots.

We did keep the snake so we could curl it up on the sidewalk and scare one of the ladies from church. I was just about expecting her to arrive.

I'm not sure if he's a lizard or a salamander of some sort....

I'll let him go outside before I leave for church....

Why do we need to pray for your landlord.

Exclamation Things I've learned from my parents & grand-parents

  • Treasure people because you don't know how long they'll be in your lives.
  • Live life to your fullest; give your best with everything you do. You only have one life to live.
  • Give every person a chance. Don't judge people by how they initially appear to look or sound. Let their words and actions be their own judge.
  • While doing a jigsaw puzzle with my grandma: establish the boundaries first and keep referencing the "big picture"
  • Give people the benefit of the doubt; treat them with kindness even when they may not deserve it.
  • My grandfather: give people second chances even when they've fallen on hard times.
  • While washing dishes with my grandma, i always thought water was really hot, yet she was used to it and it didnt bother her. I learned everyone is at different levels. Some people can't take the heat, like others can.
  • The small things matter: sitting at the table playing a card game, sitting eating popcorn over a movie, hugs and simple signs of love
  • Education is important: always keep learning; the minute you stop is the minute you stop growing as a person.
  • Prayers make a difference when nothing else does.
  • Science fiction is the greatest of all fictional genres =)
  • Proper preparation always beats blind ambitions. As a carpenter, my grandfather would always say, Measure it twice, BEFORE you cut.
  • Don't seek revenge on people whom have done you wrong. Revenge is the Lords; it will always come full circle. Either God will restore back unto you or His revenge will be greater than you could have ever done.
  • Give those older than you respect; God would do the same and someday you'll be there too.
  • Music soothes both the mind and soul. It can speak the language of the heart.
  • Sacrifice of yourself for both God and man. God is pleased and will always provide for your needs.
  • My Dad: Defer to others. Some things may have been done better another way, but you will find unity. Unity is to be treasured.
  • Pray about it. If you already know the answer, pray about it. If you don't, pray about it. (I need to do that more)
  • Give God your best; He gave you His. It is your reasonable service.
  • Seek to make your enemies friends. Go out of your way to find a point that you can agree on.
  • Stay in the Word. It has all the answers that we'll ever need. Love it and know it.

Maybe later today, I'll add more....
