My Next In Line For A Miracle
A tangential [yet still grammatical] update is better than no update, right?
A couple minutes ago, I was going through the stations here at home and found this. I didn't think things like these still existed, yet still in the year 2006, people are using the old, standby ways to misrepresent Christianity. Note the use of "your" rather than "you're"
Rev. Peter Popoff, seller of Miracle Spring Water. Yes, thats right: Miracle Spring Water. According to the testimonials he reads, it'll fix anything. One woman, he claims, had her electric bill paid by the Lord after she used the water. And it can work for you too! He says that he knows there's someone out there in the audience with intestinal problems that can be healed. There's a couple that can't have a child that will have a baby once they get the water. There's even a married couple living with their parents that--if they anoint the apartment they want with the water--will move out on their own. I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
That's right: if you call now, they'll supersize your order!
(Another grammar error to make this slightly more relevant: extra comma.)

So at the previous parties, she was observing him drinking and smoking? Maybe she should have said something rather than just watching.
"I asked for you to pray for my son's ears that he wouldn't have to have surgery again. Peter Popoff, let me tell you the good news. I took my son back to have his ears checked. The doctor said his ears are fine. He can hear good and he wouldn't have to come back and no surgery. Praise God for he is worthy."

i like this one because i just returned from seeing my po-dunk family in KY and northern MI who all speak like this. it makes me want to cry.
i actually slipped a few double negatives too... yuck.
Hey— Hate to break it to you, but the past tense of "pay" is "paid." Love, Gabe
