The Snake Miracle

One evening when we lived in Georgia, I saw a giant 6 foot snake in the woods right after dusk. I ran to the shed and came back with a bucket. The snake began to slither away and so I grabbed it mid body and put it into the bucket. The poor lighting blended its coloring to solid gray so I assumed it was a harmless rat snake. Only when I put the lid on the bucket did it start rattling. It turned out to be the most aggressive rattlesnake I've ever caught. I consider this to be a true miracle. There have been several other miracles in my life. What about in your life?

Note: The image is not the snake in this story. It's a bull snake I saw here in Oregon. I've lost most of my collection of non digital pictures.
