"Wicked Cool"

SO, I've blogged about the cross orb.

I most welcome spider who rids our

porch and yard of the most vile

of flying insects. She, the cross orb,

has moved on (only guess this because

I've haven't seen her web around in

a few days).

Also, however, therefore...

bad english there I think.

We also had a vistor a couple

weeks back that hung out on our

porch for a 36 or so hour period.

The ever-loving, husband eating

(much the same as the cross orb)

fly and pest insect killing queen

of green.

The praying mantis. A most

beautiful sight when one can no

longer stand carrying a fly swatter

around OUTSIDE.

The praying mantis.

Her hand held so closely together.

The cross orb spider.

Marked on her back with a most

discernable cross.

Wicked Cool.

Yes, they are expert killers...

if you're an insect.

But to me, they both are most

excellent friends... removing the

most unwanted in my yard.

The cross... Prayer.

Both remove the most unwanted

in my life. One for all time.

One for daily strength to die to

self and live for a more excellent

way.

The cross.

Prayer.

Is any one of you in trouble?

He should pray.

Is anyone happy?

Let him sing songs of praise.

Is any one of yous sick?

He should call the eldersw of the

church to pray over him and annoint

him with oil in the name of the Lord.

And the prayer offered in faith will

make the sick person well;

the Lord will raise him up.

If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Therefore confess your sins to

each other and pray for each

other so that you may be healed.

The prayer of a righteous man is

powerful and effective.

James 5:13-16 NIV
