An elderly lady living alone surprised a burglar in her kitchen. He was weighed down with all the items he was planning to steal. With no weapon in reach, all she could think of doing was to quote scripture at him and so she held up her hand and shouted out: "Acts 2:38!" The burglar instantly froze in fear, allowing the lady to get to the phone and dial 911. When the police arrived ten minutes later, the burglar was still quaking with terror. After arresting him, the officers were puzzled as to how an elderly woman with no weapon had managed to strike such fear into him. She replied: "I simply quoted scripture at him. He must be a God-fearing boy." While interviewing the burglar at the station, the officer asked him: "What was it about the scripture that had such an effect on you?" "Scripture? What scripture?" demanded the burglar. "I thought she said she had an axe and two .38s!"
