Beaumont is home to the Victory Temple church of the late preacher B.H. Clendennen, http://www.limerickcitychurch.com/blog/man-of-faith-bh-clendennen-pt1 MARINE CORPS WWII Veteran and purple heart recipient, enrolled in the national purple heart hall of honor, oil rig worker, minister in Vietnam and in Moscow, and was also an Admiral in the Texas Navy. Glory to God.
And who preached one of the most powerful sermons I ever heard, Soldiers (listen)

I’ll certainly give that sermon a listen tonight thanks brother!
Odds are it was just saliva (maybe hers) and it was not a poisonous snake.
A poisonous snake big enough that this woman (who doesn’t exactly look frail) couldn’t get it off her arm would be a VERY hazardous attempted prey for a hawk. Hawks don’t have much body mass and even a slight bite from an only moderately poisonous “large” snake (say, a really big copperhead) would likely be the end of that hawk. The lower legs (just above the scaly section) have some protection (the leg feathers), but, still...
So, not “impossible”, but awfully unlikely. Granted that having a hawk drop a snake of any species on your arm is highly unlikely!
Limerick city?!
That does it!
Mark - we are needed here.....
Saw a hawk flying high in the air,
Drop a snake - landed right in my hair!
But the hawk grabbed my arm,
(Really caused me some harm!)
and my husband was off - who knows where?
approriate? or not??
For later
Thanks
