THERE WAS ONCE A WOMAN WHO HAD NO RESPECT
FOR GOD. SHE CURSED HIM AND CALLED HIM ALL
SORTS OF NAMES. SHE WAS JUST A PLAIN OLE
NON-BELIEVER. WELL, ONE DAY THIS WOMAN CHALLENGED
GOD. SHE BOUGHT A CAMERA, RAISED HER FIST UP TO THE
SKY AND SAID, LORD IF YOU ARE SO GREAT AND POWERFUL
AND IF YOU ARE REAL, YOU WILL APPEAR IN THE SKY AND
WOMAN GOT MORE THAN SHE BARGAINED FOR. WHEN SHE GOT
THOSE PICTURES DEVELOPED NOT ONLY DID JESUS APPEAR
ON THE PICTURE, BUT THE MOMENT SHE SAW JESUS ON THE
PICTURE SHE FELL LAME. THIS WOMAN REMAINED LAME THE
REST OF HER DAYS.
