An elderly Widow woke in the middle of the night, alerted by a noise> She tiptoed down steps to discover she had a Burglar in her home. She shouted at the intruder, “Stop in the name of the Lord, repent for the forgiveness of your sins. Acts 2:38!” the burglar immediately froze, raised both arms in the air in surrender and stood motionless while the widow called the police. When they arrived they arrested the thief who was still in surrender posture. The police man asked the burglar, “Buddy why were you so intimidated by a lady who shouted at you and quoted a

Bible scripture?” “What do you mean Bible scripture? That lady was armed and dangerous! She said she had an ax and two 38’s.”
