Rattlesnakes

Ok, the LORD is warning me about something because I keep running into “rattlesnakes”.

  1. The other day (two weeks ago) when I was running, I was impressed to pray against being bitten by a rattlesnake. I prayed the whole time I ran.
  2. A night or so later, a man in Broomfield (my town) was bitten in his neighborhood.
  3. I asked Laura if there were rattlers around where I run. She didnt think so, but a day later said that she was wrong and that someone posted on the neighborhood watch thing that a rattlesnake had been sunning itself on that trail.
  4. Sunday, I took Laura’s car to go get washed. On the way home, I saw a fresh rattlesnake or maybe a bull snake on the side of the road. It had just been hit. Im going with rattlesnake, given all else that is going on. But, it was DEAD!
  5. A guy posted on Facebook last night a video of him sitting right next to a rattlesnake showing that it wouldnt bite him.
  6. Today, I visited with Rich Harris, and he jokingly said I was like a rattlesnake.

Ok God. What’s up?

So far, there has never been a strike, but there seems to be a looming threat of it at all times. Am thinking this represents what is going through Laura’s mind and our marriage.

Sounds like a big attack of the enemy built around deception. Protect me O God!
