Ray Stevens was great! I miss him. Dunno, maybe we need a few squirrels in our churches.

Then there was the tiny town where the belfries got invaded by squirrells. The Methodists set live traps and gently carried them into the woods and released the squirrells. They came back. The Presbyterians session decided the squirrells were predestined to be there and left them alone. The Catholics adopted the only effective solution: they baptized the squirrells amd made them members. Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.

I love the part in the song where it says 7 deacons and the pastor got saved, and 500 people re-dedicated their life without an invitation.  Who knew a squirrel could do so much?
