panicked phone calls

One of things that happens when you are in the business of being the pastor or pastor's wife are phone calls. You never know what kind of mood or disposition people are in when you answer their phone calls. Well the other day our phone rang and a lady from our church was on the other end, and boy was she in a panic state. My hubby being the pastor answered the phone and I could here what she was saying. She was screaming there's a snake in my house. So my hubby said he'd be right there.

It is a 10 mile drive to her home and by the time he got there, they could not find the snake. The kids in the house were also in a panic, one would not go into the bathroom because that was the last place they had seen it. So my hubby looked through everything in the bathroom, moved things around and no sign of Mr. snake. they even looked through the kitchen but he could not be found.

I couldn't stop laughing because I would have panicked just as much as this lady did. the even funnier part is the next day we went to prayer meeting and found out that another family just around the block from us also had a snake in their house. (Now if they lived closer i would say it was the same snake, but...)

I just love being the pastor's wife and I love all our church family.

Have a BLESSED day!
