A woman in Alabama was
hit by lightning while praying this past weeked.
…while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured.
She said ‘Amen’ and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive.
There is nothing in the article that describes how they interpreted this “answer” other than a family member saying that “he will no longer assume it is safe to be indoors during a lightning storm.”
I’ve learned my lesson. No linoleum in our house!
I think what was left out of this story was what the woman was saying BEFORE she started to pray. And did she do the little lightning rod sign on her forehead? That might have prevented the strike.
I think that knowledge of the little lightning rod sign on the forehead is part of the restored Gospel. We taught it in the 4th discussion usually when I was on my mission.
