Mysterious Ways

Who knew that God has such an acute sense of irony?

Last Memorial Day, Daphne, Ala., resident Clara Jean Brown was struck by lightening during a powerful thunderstorm while doing what?

A. Sneaking money out of the church collection plate
B. Protesting outside an abortion clinic
C. Using the Lord’s name in vain
D. Praying



ANSWER
D: Praying. In fact, Brown was in the relative safety of her own kitchen and praying for her family’s safe return through the storm.

She had just said “Amen” when a bolt of lightening blew a hole in her kitchen floor, enveloped the room in flame and knocked Clara semi-unconscious (but otherwise left her unharmed).
