Williboy - Mosey on over to Wise and Grundy Counties in southwest Virginia. There's a couple over there if you desire the experience. We're talking in the hills and hollers.

My son and a bunch of his friends went to another friends Pentecostal church this past Sunday; he said he had never experienced talking in tongues until he went there. He went up to the assistant pastor after the (2 hour ) service to ask why they talk in tongue. He said he never could understand the pastor's answer.

We were camping/hiking in the Big Frog Mtn area and ran across this church out in the middle of nowhere! I mean nowhere. This was down a gravel road on the way to the hiking area and it was freaky. I don't recall the name but I will bet ya that there was some snake handlin' goin' on down thataway. The previous night we came across some people dancing naked around a camp fire and a fella passed out drunk under his 4x4 and sleeping it off. Strange area.

I 've read that it's still done in TN, but it is against the law here. Alabama is another state that I read about that still has this practice.

It was actually a three finger bag of fireflies. Oh, and that wasn't a snake.
