Yesterday evening, my wife noticed a huge web near our front door. I'm a little defensive when it comes to killing bugs like spiders because I know they kill other smaller irritants. And I watch Steve Irwin alot.
Anyway, she wanted to tear the web down, I said no. So, this morning, she goes out the front door, and as I'm standing there, I look up in the top left corner of the screen door, and there he is. Pretty big, a light gray color with dark colored rings. ON THE INSIDE OF THE SCREEN DOOR. So, I open the screen door, shut the main door behind me, knock him down onto the ground with a stick, throw the doormat over him, and then dance like I've never danced before.
In doing a quick search in Google, it seems it may have been a hobo spider. Their bites look like they could be nasty! Just in case you're curious, just do a Google or Yahoo images search for hobo spider to get a look at him. I won't link here for the squeamish.
Now I have the creepy crawlies.
I'm not sure what to say about this.
You see... to this guy, God is a sock. I agree with him. Look at his foot. It's blue from being cold and wet. All this guy needs is a sock. Well, let me rephrase that; I'm sure he needs alot more than that. Probably a hot shower, the same roof over his head, a warm filling meal a couple times a day.
I follow Christ. I follow him with my heart, with my whole heart. That being said, I agree with the guy in the picture. To this man, at this particular point in his life, God is a sock. If he had socks and shoes, but no jacket to keep him warm, God would be a jacket.
That's where the church comes in. The church (not the building, mind you, the people) should make sure this guy has a sock. Now, I don't want to hear any of this "who says he didn't have one and took it off because he's insane." In my opinion, you can take that crap elsewhere, cause I'm not interested in hearing it.
I follow Christ, and as part of the body of Christ, the church, it's my duty... yes, duty, to take care of people; people with real needs. People who need socks.
I should be a sock.
