I have just had what I think I can say without fear of contradiction was a most unusual experience. I was minding my own business, when I was stopped by a very pleasant lady of advanced years who asked if she could tell me something very important.
Naturally I was intrigued as waited with baited breath for this important thing. Nothing could have prepared me for what followed. Nothing! The lady who I shall call Mary said that she'd been looking at me when the Lord told her to go and speak to me. Well you could have knocked me down with a feather! Anyway it transpires that God thinks I'm a very special person and is very upset to see me so sad, he's not bothered that I'm not a Christian because I'm very kind, he also said that I should leave my troubles at the foot of the cross and he'll sort them. Oh and he also said that I'm very gracious, talented, generous and intelligent. So you lot will all have to start treating me with a bit of respect otherwise you'll all end up roasting on the hob of hell. Jesus also gave Mary a few things to pass on to me and seems to be in total agreement with his dad.
Obviously I was flattered but I must confess to becoming a bit suspicious and started to worry that this might be a trap to lure me into church. However Mary didn't ask for a thing, not money, my presence at church, a cup of tea, my shoes -nothing. I was never the most certain of atheists, so as you can imagine I'm a bit spooked, though it has cheered me right up. I did wonder if Mary might be unwell, but she seemed perfectly normal. What can it all mean? Why me? What should I do?
Has this sort of thing happened to anyone else?

Can't say it has, but a guy showed up at my office last week claiming that MI5 had implanted a chip in his brain to control his dreams, and demanded to know what I was going to do about it.
For once, I'm not kidding.
Never doubt the wisdom of little old ladies, they're closer to God than any of us......
flyingrodent,
I usually get less exciting versions of that who think the housing have bugged their home. Mercifully they just want me to know about it, rather than take action.
Illman,
I choose to believe this little old lady. Had the Lord been critical I would think very differently of course.
