That’s Why They Call it Hollyweird

At work the other day, I walked by a customer and asked her how she was doing. Although a simple, I’m fine could totally have worked, instead, the following ensued:
Me: Hi, how are you today?
Woman wearing a Christmas pin with bells that said “Jingle for Jesus”: Hello, I just got back from Jerusalem!
Me: Oh, that’s neat.
Woman: I met lots of Muslims and Jews there. You’re Muslim right?
Me: Yeah, I’m Muslim.
Woman: Oh, I prayed for lots of Muslims.
Me: That was nice of you.
Woman: It was so the they could welcome the Holy Spirit into them. So that they would love Jesus.
Me: Oh, okay.
Woman: A lot of the Muslims there actually told me they had seen visions of Jesus and the crucifixion. One man told me he just saw Jesus come out of the sky.
Me: Oh. Wow. Out of the sky. That’s…wow.
Woman: Yeah, he was right there. Jesus was right there in front of the man. I was in Jerusalem for six months doing God’s work. I get inspired through God. He speaks to me.
Me: Oh, that’s nice.
Woman: There was a Muslim man there who only had one leg. He was missing his other leg and his foot, and then I prayed for him. And right there, in front of everyone, Jesus grew back his foot and his leg! And they took a picture of it.
Me: Oh…wow…that’s…
Woman: And then that man believed, and he said, “I love Jesus! I love Jesus!” I couldn’t believe it!
Me: Oh, yeah, that’s…wow.
Woman: Yeah. I just try to follow Jesus and do his work. You know how you know when the Holy Spirit is inside of you? It’s when you feel overwhelmed with love, and when you feel like all the hate inside you is gone. All of us should embrace the Holy Spirit.
Me: Well it sounds like you really love what you do. So. Um. Okay, let me know if you need anything.
Woman: Okay…wait…I just want to tell you…JESUS LOVES YOU!

Oh boy

sounds like a close family member of mine
LOL
wow.
I run into this guy everyday that recites the bible out loud and I have similar responses, “mhmm,ohh yea?” “I see” “wow..” lol
Oh wow a man grew a foot and a leg right after she prayed for him maybe she should pray for world peace!
so i totally spit out my yummy lassi as i read that the woman’s prayer grew the man a leg and a foot. jeez this woman needs to be in hospitals in all the ERs and ORs and save ppl hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills. Man, come to think of it, I could use this lady to fix a broken clay pot i have (why i have a broken clay pot, i dont know)
wait, wait, wait a minute…
SO this dude GREW a foot back?!
I’m no doctor but the last time I checked humans weren’t like spiders..(I think they grow legs back, I’m not a biologist either so…)
People like that scare me.
haha! I love it.
his foot AND his leg. it would be kind of unfortunate if it was only the foot.
Did you laugh?
But that would just make the whole situation more awkward.
I’m not being rude or anything but her determination, especially the leg and foot part, I found it funnily weird.
L.M.A.O
The people one meets at the store.
But seriously, I would’ve backed away slowly or if I was feeling mean, I would’ve called her out on it.
Haha my convo wouldn’t have gone any further than the leg/foot growing part
At least she didn’t tell you that you were dressed up like Mary in reverence to Christmas :-p
This SOOOOO sounds like a typical day at my job.
woooow… hahahahahhahahha
oh sab, how did u keep a straigght face thruout the conversation.. i would have burst out laughing!
She expected you to just lap up what she was saying… A foot AND a leg…yea happens everyday…NOT
oh just like you,i will say,wow,wow,wow.
