Dorothy, who is the first to know everything here at Shiloh, tells us that we have an invasion of rats.  RATS??!!! How did this happen?  So we went to our long time expert on such things and asked Night Guard Joseph for his opinion.  He said that these are big mice. So big in fact, that many people think they have to be rats.  But they are really mice.  Big or small, rats or mice, they have NO PLACE AT SHILOH!  Period.  There is NO ROOM AT THIS INN for mice/rats.  And that's all there is to it.  No discussion.  No arguments.  Papa Jim jumped into the conversation and decided that we need more of the heavy duty rat/mice traps.  So we commissioned Eric, our favorite taxi driver, to pick some up for us while he is in town.  He knows right where they sell them.  And he knows the price.  These mice/rats critters invaded his house recently, so he's a new expert on the topic.  Good!  We need lots of expert help here at Shiloh.  It is our deepest hope that Eric will deliver six rat/mice traps sometime before nightfall tomorrow.  That's right...Papa Jim has ordered SIX of them!  He wants Joseph to place them all over the property and see how many he can trap out in the first night.  And how many more on night number two.  Hopefully before long, this will be a fading memory.  One more chapter in the exciting missionary novel we are too busy to write.  It would have to be a novel cuz nobody would believe that our stories are true!  But they are.  We've lived them all.  And now we are living the rat/mice story.  Which will have a happily ever after ending to it.  Please.
