Thieves In The Temple

Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed...There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them.
~1 Corinthians 12:1 & 4 (NIV)

So, for the past week there's been a HUGE drama unfolding at my parents' church: There's a raccoon -- or perhaps a family of them -- tearing up the attic.

This is HIGH-larious for the following reasons:

1. One of the deacons fell off the ladder.
2. Daddy said the following about the size of the raccoon they caught last night: "Maaaan, it looked like a dawg!"
3. The raccoon they caught the other day escaped from the cage.
4. The raccoon they caught the other day escaped from the cage right before daddy could shoot it.
5. Another of the deacons just called -- 9 a.m. on a Saturday -- to tell daddy that they caught another one last night.
...daddy just left with his gun.
