We had one in our house recently. We tried our best to lure him back to the front door so he could escape to freedom, but he ran the other direction. We lost him somewhere behind something. All we could do was pray he'd figure out how to find his way back out since he obviously found his way in. Truly, nothing is impossible with God, but all too often these little creatures panic and don't accept the freedom when it is offered, and then sadly we find their poor little dried up bodies sometime later behind a cabinet or in a corner, where they tried to hide instead of accepting the free gift of salvation. They aren't a whole lot different than many people...Pamela M.
