      I went to a small church as a little girl and @ Christmas my cousin got a “Creepy Crawler”maker and made all sorts of spiders and bugs. Sister Ida would get filled with The Spirit from time to time and would run up & down the isles of the church screaming and stomping her heels against the floor and waving her handkerchief and get others to shouting along. Well,after we sang one Sunday morning after Sunday School the pastor asked us to bow our heads. My cousin had laid a black “Creepy Crawler”spider on Sister Ida’s purse that was on her lap.As she bowed her head she began to scream and shout.Well other members were already joining in and my great uncle saw the big hairy looking spider which is in the floor by now so he jumps up and starts stomping,well more people start to shout and praise the Lord. Every time he stomped the spider it bounced since it was rubbery which caused him to stomp it again so by now half the church is having a Sunday morning “Come To Jesus “ praise service and my aunt realized about that time what was happening and snatched my cousin up and out of church they went.All the kids are thinking he’s getting the spanking of a lifetime but my aunt was outside bent double laughing so hard she couldn’t spank anybody,so my cousin got away with the whole debacle. It was one of the funniest things that happened in that little church. Every

    I Love Ray Stevens, Salute and honor to you Sir. Theres an Album of His that came out in the late 70's ,that Had a song on there called " Be your Own best Friend" I was 19 'er 20 when I bought this album JUST for that one song, I'd heard it on the radio, and went straight out and bought the vinyl . I have loved and appreciated this song ever since I am now almost 64 yrs old and I just went to hear this awesome wise song of Mr.Stevens , not 5 minutes ago. Blessing,Love and Respect Mr.Ray Stevnes for Being YOU,bringing humour , creativity, common sense and depth to the world of music. Bless you and your heart and I Mean efvery word of it from my heart !! A GIGANTIC THANK YOU, SIR !!!

She fought a good fight for 8 more years when it came back. You never heard her complain or feel sorry for herself. She loved it when someone would say "It's me again Margaret."
