Say, What's That Crawling on Your Shirt.......?

It seems that some people naturally are repulsed by certain parts of God's good world, while others seem attracted like a moth to the flame. Today, Zach had the good fortune to stumble upon two large tarantulas while carrying blocks during a Ministry Center work project. The first time, the tarantula actually jumped on Zach's shirt before he managed to brush it off. That definitely got his attention. After an impassioned appeal for its life, Zach's Haitian colleagues agreed to let the spider escape unharmed. The second tarantula, also discovered in a concrete block, succumbed to Zach's clumsily aimed foot-wedge shot trying to position it for a photo. Both tarantulas measured more than than six inches across. Now, Zach can brag (?) that he has nearly been bitten by rats, bats, scorpions, a green mamba (one of the world's most poisonous snakes), and finally, two tarantulas, all in the hope of that perfect picture. Thank God Haiti only has a handful of poisonous animals!
