Say What?

Burglar and an Elderly Woman

An elderly woman had just returned to her home from and evening of church services when she was startled by an intruder.  She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, “Stop! Acts 2:38!  Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.”

The burglar stopped in his tracks.  The woman calmly called the police and explained what she ha done.  As the officer cuffed the man, he asked the burglar, “Why did you just stand there?  All the old lady did was yelled a Scripture at you.”

“Scripture?” replied the burglar.  “She said she had and ax and two 38s!”[i]
