Snake Story
Becky moved off of the porch slowly, backing through the door and into the house. She slammed the sliding glass door shut and stood for a moment, relieved to have something solid between her and the snake on the porch.
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe, at last, inside. Or was she? How had that snake gotten into the screened-in and walled-up back porch. If it could get in there, it's possible it could get inside where she was as well.
Becky wasn't someone who was normally skittish about wild things. She'd handled snakes before, picked up lizards many times, caught frogs in the garage and let them go. But snakes seemed to always catch her off guard. They would turn up when least expected. She would see them out of the corner of her eye and just the surprise of it would make her jump; her adrenalin would pump, her heart would thump, and her panic would take over.
What was she going to do? She couldn't just stand there waiting for the snake to decide to leave. What if it were venomous? It didn't look like a viper, but it could be. She would need to get out there soon to water the plants.
"What this requires is some advanced planning," she said out loud to her cat, Louie. "And, I will probably have to go 'once more into the fray' kitty," she said, looking in the cat's direction for emphasis.
"First things first, though," she said. The cat meowed back. It often did that, having become used to being talked to. "Let's look that fellow up," Becky said walking to her bookshelf.
"Let's see, snakes," she said, thumbing through her reptile and amphibian identification book. "It's brown and gray, with some black. With a pattern that looks ... there it is," she said thumping the page so hard that Louie jumped. "Not venomous," she said, triumphantly.
"It's an oak snake, Louie," she returned the book and strode over to her closet. "Not venomous, but I am still not taking chances," she said.
She reached into the closet and pulled out her heaviest jacket. It was lined and stuffed thick with lots of padding. Then she found her mittens and a pair of rubber boots. She knew even non-venomous snakes would sometimes threaten to strike when scared. "And that threat would work on me," Becky said aloud again, though Louie had no idea what she was talking about.
"It's 90 degrees outside, Louie," she said, "so get the iced lemonade ready for when I return."
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was the best she could come up with. With her armor on, she was already sweating when she slowly pushed open the sliding glass door and stepped back on to the porch.
She was pretty sure the snake would slither away from her presence. She propped open the outside door, and hoped she could shoo the snake in that direction.
Sweat dampened her arms and collected on her face. She spread her arms out, and took a few steps toward the snake. There was so much for it to hide beneath. Becky regretted the rocking chairs and all the plant stands between where the snake was in the corner and the door to the outside.
At first it seemed like the snake was just going to remain where it was, flicking its tongue every now and then. Becky waved her arms, lunged in its direction, and stomped her feet. It sat there, coiled in the corner, as if perfectly happy to remain there. In a fit of desperation, she picked up one side of the rocking chair the snake was under and let it drop. The snake jumped, raised its head like it was going to strike, and then stayed right where it was.
"Snake," Becky said, "This is not how it works. You have got to go." The snake moved its head back and forth, swaying a bit, and that gave Becky an idea.
She had read somewhere that snakes can "hear" thanks to the ability to process vibrations through the bone in their jaw. This awareness of vibrations in the ground was one reason it was very hard to sneak up on snakes. She quickly realized that getting the snake out was going to be a lot easier than she had thought.
Becky turned on the radio she kept on the porch and lowered it to the ground, pointing in the snake's direction. She adjusted the controls so that the bass was as high as it could go. Then she cranked up the volume. She envisioned the snake swaying to the sounds of "Dancing Queen by Abba, and then leaving the porch and going far far away.
Coming back into the house she began peeling off the now damp armaments she had put on earlier. "Louie, there is more than one way to skin a snake," she said laughing. She watched as the snake uncoiled and moved cautiously in the direction of the door. Bending down to pick up Louie Becky sighed and stroked his head. "'Cause no one ever wants to skin a cat sweetie
The glass was cool under her hands despite her pounding heart. She tried to slow her breathing. She was safe at last inside.

Strong democracies are more stable, more open, better partners to us, more committed to human rights, less prone to conflict, and more dependable markets for our goods and services. When democracies are weak, governments can’t deliver for their people or a country becomes so polarized that it’s hard for anything to get done, they become more vulnerable to extremist movements from the inside and to interference from the outside. And they become less reliable partners to the United States.

Massachusetts Bay - “The City Upon a Hill”
More than a thousand Puritans on 11 ships left England in 1630. The Puritans were fed up with the Church of England. They felt they couldn't practice their religion in England. The king of England didn't like the Puritans much either. So, he gave them permission to set up colonies in New England. The Puritans landed in the area of Massachusetts. John Winthrop was on one of those ships. He knew England would be watching them to see how they did. He wrote, "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us." Winthrop later became governor of Massachusetts.

Puritans believed in predestination, which taught that God is all-powerful and all-knowing. So, each person is known to God at birth, and nothing a person can do or say could change his future. Not everyone could be a Puritan Church member. Only those chosen by God to be "saved" could be Church members. A person must see and feel the grace and power of God, so then he knows he is "saved." During the early years, ministers such as John Cotton made sure people were really "saved."

The colony needed more than the "saved" people to survive. There were many dissenters, or Christian men and women who were not "saved." These people had jobs in business which were needed for the colony to survive.

There was also a need for elected leaders that made laws. Ministers were not allowed to run for office. But many of the most important decisions were made by them.

Puritan life
Almost 14,000 more Puritans came to Massachusetts from England in the next few years. So the colony began to spread out across New England. People began to live longer and healthier lives. It was often said that New England invented grandparents, which meant many people grew old enough to see their children have children. Puritans wanted their children to be able to read the Bible, so every town, with at least 50 families, built schools.

Massachusetts Bay was a man's world, and women could not speak at town meetings or vote. Puritans believed women who were pregnant with a male child had pink cheeks, and those having a female child had pale cheeks. Names of women included Patience, Silence, Fear, Comfort and Be Fruitful, which shows what Puritans thought about women.

Everyone went to church. People had to pay fines if they missed services. The minister's sermon or speech was about town problems. Often a man held a long pole to wake people or push children who were laughing. Church was very serious.

Puritan dissent
The Puritans believed they were doing God's work. Those who sinned and did not do God's work were punished. Some could be put in jail. Others were whipped or brought to the public square in the center of town, where people would spit on them. Some were even killed.

People were not free to think for themselves. Some free-thinkers could be forced to leave their homes and never return. Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson were two free-thinkers who spoke their minds and were sent away.

Roger Williams believed in the separation of church and state. He said churches should not get money from the taxes leaders of the town government collected from the people. Williams also said the Native Americans were not paid enough for their land. Massachusetts banished him from his home in 1636.

Williams bought some land from the Narragansett Indians and started the colony of Rhode Island, where people could be free thinkers.

Anne Hutchinson believed in predestination, which taught that God is all-powerful and all-knowing. She said it was God who controlled the future, not the rules of the church. Puritans believed this, but she said the ministers were actually teaching people they could do things to get into heaven. She also said people who were "saved" didn't have to follow the law. Sometimes 80 people would come to her home each week to hear her sermons.

The ministers decided to arrest her, and the court found her guilty. She was banished and moved to Rhode Island, too.

Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson were two brave souls who told people they have the right to disagree.

There is another side of Puritan life that is not well known. They did have some fun, too. People sang and told stories. They drank wine and beer. Children were allowed to play games with their parents' permission. Puritans did not all dress in black as many believe. They tried to follow God's law. People who did what the ministers said, lived in peace.
