It puts up a nice privately room to be alone with God. It has a little Altar, some religious pictures, a chair, a kneeling bench, and a Bible. Could the spider survive here?

Get rid of that catapiller before I eat 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of that catapiller before I eat 'em. Rabbit, You're going to really have to tell us about this spider. You mentioned a chapel in a hospital. Why wouldn't the spider be welcomed there? §The YMCA. What about the Boy, Girl Scouts? Would he be welcomed there? Is a spider someone who is around just to observe? Is he different from everyone else? Is he there for a different reason? Come on. Give us a clue! Fran Edited January 16, 2017 by Fran C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of that catapiller before I eat 'em. Really?!?! A spider will always be a spider. A caterpillar is what it is for a season, then goes into a rebirth, coming out as a butterfly. I like caterpillars for they can represent the new birth in us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the topic of "what's right and what's wrong". The spider is not the topic. The spider is a character within a story. But the story is about the church organization.

So was this spider spinning a yarn instead of his webÉ (not sure why the question mark turned into something else. Perhaps the spider influence).

If a literal meaning is not seen, look for the figurative or symbolic instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
