–still thanking his lucky star

A HUGE diamond-head, brown-striped snake measuring more than seven feet was killed on Wednesday at Somerset and Berks sea dam embankment, some two miles from the public road.A young woman, Patrina Stephen, whose family lives near the sea dam embankment, said the huge and dangerous snake was spotted in an old freezer near her home. The standing member of the Voice of Faith Miracle Ministries church said her brother, Collin Junior, was searching for a bag to put crabs in when he pushed his hand in the freezer without looking. She said when he pulled back his hand and looked into the freezer, he was astonished to see the huge snake already poised to strike at him.
Junior said it was God who saved his life, because if the poisonous diamond-head snake had bitten him, it would have been fatal. His sister Patrina is thanking the Lord Jesus for saving her brother.
Junior said his father, mother and siblings quickly surrounded the freezer and killed the snake. He said the snake was eating a bird in the freezer, and probably became angry after it had been disturbed from its meal.
The family is involved in farming, and lives alone in the area close to the bushy sea-dam.
