The Mystery of the Painted Snake goes into high gear when a snake on a mural apparently changes its stripes. Timothy made a copy of the bright green snake in paper-mache, right down to the markings on its back. He gives the gift to his cousin Titus but when they go back to see the original, the stripes are gone. What happened? Teaches Psalm 102:18 — "Write these things for the future. Then the people who are not yet born will praise the Lord."
