Woman struck by lightning...while praying...

<snip>
DAPHNE, Ala. -- Worried about the safety of her family during a stormy Memorial Day trip to the beach, Clara Jean Brown stood in her kitchen and prayed for their safe return as a strong thunderstorm rumbled through Baldwin County, Alabama.

But while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured.

She said 'Amen' and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive.
<end snip>

Um...:rofl:
If that's not a message from God that you're an idiot, I really don't know what is...When you're not the tallest thing around, you should be ok. That's the way it works. If you're inside and you get struck by lightning, you've pissed someone off...

2. I love it..
.... you get hit by lightning and then since you didn't die god was protecting you.

Hint to god: "protect" probably means eschewing the lightning strike :)

3. Damn...I didn't think of that...
They'll spin it...but I believe he was trying to wake her up...not that it will, because she's too much of an idiot.

4. That's like when I used to get drunk and get in an accident....
I would say "Wow, if I wasn't so drunk, I would have really been hurt (meaning that because I was so "relaxed" I just kind of rolled with the punches.) Until it one day dawned on me that if I wasn't so drunk, I never would have had the accident in the first place.

God didn't spare you, he tried to fry you for being an idiot and missed.

10. I think so, but then I am re reading the same replies in other threads too
odd. I read something and I've already read it. Think I'll go play some online games instead.
