NO SPIDER ZONE

I saw the green smears on the wall behind Maddy’s bed. I knew exactly where they came from, and what she has been doing in those few minutes in the dark of her room before she falls asleep.

Ewwww! MADDDDDDDD-dy! How COULD you?

‘’But Mommy,’’ she protested, achingly sincere, brown eyes wide. ‘’It keeps the spiders away!’’

We have a few itty bitty beige ones that have snuck inside and taken up residence in the corners of the rooms on our lower level. It happens, this time of year. They’re harmless, but she hates them. So she took action. Works for her.

Think of all the pesticide pollution we could have avoided, if we’d only known what REALLY keeps the spiders away.

Prayer request: We join in prayer for Elizabeth Edwards, wife of the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for Vice President, John Edwards. Father, You knew she had breast cancer, and You provided for her care and treatment with Your exquisite timing, so that the announcement of her disease coincided with the nation’s eyes upon her. That did a tremendous amount of good in terms of prevention and awareness for other women. We praise You for Your loving concern, and pray for her complete healing and happiness. (Psalm 91:3)
