A little old lady came in by ambulance after falling at church and hitting her head. She said she had her hands up in the air and was praying, and the spirit took her and she fell backward, lacerating her scalp.
She said this happened a lot to her (and other people) at her church--they would be "slain by the spirit." The PA said he understood, the same thing would happen when his wife's family went to church.
"Yes," the lady said, "I love to go visit Jesus!"
I said I didn't think I would enjoy visiting Jesus if every time I came into his house he knocked me down.

"When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time." Britney Spears.
My boyfriend's elderly father was in the ER recently (first medical care since the 50's - no joke) for syncopal episodes. They were doing cardiac enzyme tests, so lots of blood was being taken. Neither of his parents have much experience with doctors or the medical establishment, believe it or not. And they determined that, since this was a "teaching hospital," EVERYONE who worked there was a student and the reason so much blood was being taken was so they could PLAY with it. *sigh* That was only ONE of their interpretations. Nothing I said made any difference. As a nursing student, it was a very frustrating experience. I sent thank you cards and goodie baskets to the staff after he was discharged. LOL
"She said this happened a lot to her (and other people) at her church--they would be "slain by the spirit."
Weird. Many of them have already brain injury if their heads always hits the floor. Anyway, I respect the beliefs of different people as well as patients, eh.

We had an almost identical situation one Sunday night, years ago in our ER. This time, an old man. He had beautiful, ice blue eyes and he told me, "I said 'Satan, you won't take my victory tonight!'"

Thanks!
A church is a building or structure to facilitate worship and the meeting of its members, particularly in Christianity.
Interesting blog it could be gaining an idea and in church is the holy place where you come to pray and worship God. Buy herbal incense to keep us healthy and live with confidence as we are protected.
So I check your blog every couple of days, thinking that maybe it's the day you start blogging again. Alas, it's not to be. Come on, my fellow Star Wars lover...
Lol I love the Britney Spears reference in the comments. Very funny!
This is something I have heard of happening in Churches, and everyone has their rights but I didn't consider the medical effects.
Not sure I'd want to keep going if that always happened to me! Very funny!
Love it! Thanks for posting!
Spirit is what it is love it!
This puts a very different perspective on attending church.
This is a very interesting article.
Can't believe this. Hope the lady was OK after that.
