Not Your Regular Earthworms

Another conversation with my roommate:

Me: "So, I was reading here in Acts and it says in reference to Herod, 'an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.'"

Allison looked at me, probably wondering if that was the extent of my spiritual curiosity.

"So, I'm curious because usually you die, then are eaten by worms." I really wanted her to partake in this conversation.

"Hmmm, so maybe the worms caused the death?"

"OH! It says right here in the footnote, 'Herod died a horrible death accompanied by intense pain; he was literally eaten alive, from the inside out, by worms.'"

"AHHHH!!!! (as she slapped her hand over her mouth) That's unfortunate."

To say the least.

It seems that I am still just a staircase away from theological discussions and intervention opportunities.
