don’t mess with Texas
A Texas woman intimidated an armed robber out of her store with the power of her finger and references to the Holy Spirit.
“I got mad,” said the 57-year old, pursing her lips. “The Texas part of me was challenged. So I pointed my finger and said, ‘In the name of Jesus, you get out of my store. I bind you by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
The gunman took a step back and told customer Kathy Vereen to drop to the floor. After she refused, Chadwick pointed her finger at the man and continued to chastise him. He walked out of the store cursing. He took nothing.

Withstanding ev’ry test –
O Empire wide and glorious,
You stand supremely blest
God bless you, Texas
And keep you brave and strong
That you may grow
In pow’r and worth
Throughout the ages
Long!
I did that from memory, y’all. I didn’t even need to copy.
It’s like one of those bogus Harry Potter incantations.
Impresario!
I had a family member once go on to me about Ashley Smith, the woman who talked down the Atlanta Courthouse Shooter by reading him excerpts from The Purpose Driven Life, and how this was evidence of providence and the power of the holy spirit throughout the ordeal.
But, then we found out about all that meth they took together and how she made him waffles.
I’d've shot her on principle just for being cheeky. Nothing major, you know, just graze a calf or something.

“Graze a calf.” That’s animal husbandry lingo.
