Yesterday it was a beautiful day here in the Burgh, so I decided to venture outside and go to Starbucks for some coffee. As I was heading down my sidewalk ramp my neighbor was leaving for work, she rolled down her window and we exchange pleasantries........ nothing strange so far, but wait for it.
She said she was praying for me, which I replied "I really appreciate your thoughts and prayers.". She continued on, stating the Holy Spirit would one day make me walk again, then started speaking in tongues and had what I can only describe as some type of seizure............ it was the strangest thing I have ever seen.
I was really shocked and did not know what to say next. She continued on her way driving and shaking/vibrating down the road.... I'm never rude when people want to pray for me (let's face it, I need all the help I can get) but this was very very odd.
Have you ever witnessed something like this? What would you do or say if you were in my situation? I am definitely not drinking the cool aid at the next neighborhood block party is all I'm going to say!

Let me get myself up from falling on the floor; as I found myself rolling about laughing at your situation. Yes, I have seen this for myself but it was at a church. Scared the mess out of me and in effect helped to turn me away from religious services.
You did the right thing by being polite. And I love your sense of humor. :O)
Good morning,

It's happened to me several times over the years. One man prayed for me because he "was sure the water made you disabled."
