I was wondering that too! Hey OneAccord, have you been to a "signs following" church up there on Sand Mt? When I think of Sand Mountain, I think of, Snake Handling Church, David Terrell, a little COGOP church I preached in 30+ years ago!
Well, no, never been to one of the "signs" churches here, though I know several of them. I knew Glenn Summerford, the subject of the book "Salvation on Sand Mountain" by Dennis Covington. I visited a serpent handling service in Tenn and one in Ga. Interesting to say the least.
BTW, for the one that asked. I didn't call the Fire Department the first time because I am a man. I don't ask for directions or read instructions either ... until... well, you know.

I totally understand why you didn't call the FD the first time. I am married to a man that is a lot like you, but we call the FD anyway, and do what we can until they get there.

Interesting, Cindy. I guess we look at this from opposite ends of the spectrum. I am married to a firefighter. So my FIRST reaction would be to call the Fire Dept. And since Hoovie is a firefighter, that would explain why he would also call the fire dept.

We have a few acres of woods, too, and I should be prepared, just in case. But I think I can do better than a "small plastic spray can" (whatever that is):

We do call the FD first, then try to do what we can until they get there.

I absolutely loved "Salvation on Sand Mountain"! Amazing that you would know Glenn Summerford. I have been in some "Signs" Churches too. The Holiness Church of God in Jesus Name in Newport, TN (or near there - up the side of a mountain) where Liston and Buford Pack were pastors - both got bit and died. Good, sincere and precious people but misguided.
Very interesting!

Yeah, AB, been to the church in Newport. A Pastor Ball was pastor there then. I didn't know Liston and Buford, but I knew Listons son, Gene. I know several of the Summerfords. Glenn and Billy were both preachers. As far as I know Billy is still preaching. Was at Glenn Jr.'s church not long ago. Do you recall Charles McGloklin in the book? I knew him quite well. Was in a serpent handling service in Canton, Ga. several years ago. Met Pastor Carl Porter and others who handled snakes that nite. Was in one just North of Chattanooga in Grasshopper Valley where it was all started by George Hensley, a CofG preacher. I use to have a book by T.L. Lowery (circa 1949?) where he advocated serpent handling. Yeah, been there, but ain't done that.
